Review: Branch Rickey, Baseball’s Ferocious Gentleman

28 12 2007

From the Columbia (MO) Daily Tribune.

Columbians might remember when Mr. Rickey collapsed on Nov. 13, 1965, as he was being inducted into the Missouri Sports Hall of Fame at the Daniel Boone Hotel and when he died on Dec. 9 at Boone County Hospital without regaining consciousness.

Upshoot: “The reader does not have to be a baseball fan to appreciate the mesmerizing story [author Lee] Lowenfish weaves.”
