[judge and jury] is outstanding. i have learned more about the history of baseball, true history, than from anything i have ever read or heard about. [it's] research and documentation clarifies so many of the personalities and events that took place before 'my time' in the game. jacques barzun's quote: 'whoever would know the heart and mind of america had better learn baseball' should be supplanted by [this] biography of landis.
