Review: The Year They Called Off the World Series: A True Story

The Year They Called Off the World Series: A True StoryThe Year They Called Off the World Series: A True Story by Benton Stark
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Well, kinda. The World Series then wasn't like it is now, it wasn't established yet. And a few baseball men decided to not have the series for, to them, good reasons, generally concerning finances and historic team legacy, and also generally to punish the renegade league and top team. Not all that well written - a little long in parts, but an interesting story.
