Considered one of the greatest baseball players of all time, Ty Cobb cast a shadow over the game with his violent behavior on the field and off. His shadow was never darker than when it fell on his teammates. Sam Crawford, Harry Heilmann and Heinie Manush were three of the greatest players in baseball history, good enough to be in the National Baseball Hall of Fame. Each played in the Detroit outfield alongside Cobb, though their fame never reached the level of his. Little is remembered about this trio of Hall of Famers. Crawford, the all-time triples leader, Heilmann, the last right-handed batter to hit .400, and Manush, another batting champion, each made his own mark on the game, detailed for the first time in this triple biography.

I Had Hoped For Something Better By Bill Emblom Author Dan D'Addona has done a commendable job in reviewing the careers of Sam Crawford, Harry Heilmann, and Heinie Manush of the Detroit Tigers. The text is 202 pages long and is divided as follows: Sam Crawford--Page 3 through 123 Harry Heilmann--Page 125 through 168 Heinie Manush--Page169 through 202I do not quibble with the facts the author presents. However, the book is mainly a season-by-season review of games played loaded with individual play-by-play as to who went 2 for 4 and the final score of games. This, to me, is not a story of each player. Rather, it is a review of the seasons of the Detroit Tigers in which each of these players took part. The author also relies on newspaper accounts of games and a heavy emphasis on statistics.The part I found to be the most interesting was reading about the broadcasting career of Harry Heilmann with the Tigers once his playing career was over, The author summarizes as to why each player has been largely forgotten by today's fans.If you want to review the seasons each of these hall-of-fame players took part then I am sure you enjoy the book. However, if you are looking for a story of each of these players then you won't find it in this book.

Terry Lindley Over the last two decades McFarland Publishers (www.mcfarlandpub.com) have printed scores of books on various sports, but especially baseball. Dan D’Addona’s triple biography of three long forgotten players—Sam Crawford, Harry Heilmann, and Heinie Manush—is a welcomed addition to McFarland’s inventory.The book’s premise is that anyone who played with Ty Cobb, one of the greatest to ever play the game, would be overshadowed no matter what they did. Sam Crawford holds two career records that will probably never be broken, triples and inside-the-park homeruns. Harry Heilmann won four batting championships, all with averages of .393 or better. The only other players to have four years of averages of .390 or better were Ty Cobb and Rogers Hornsby. Heinie Manush won one batting title, helped the Washington Senators reach their third and last World Series in 1933, and is one of 30 players with a lifetime average of .330 or better. Despite the achievements of Crawford, Heilmann, and Manush, Cob is remembered today; they are not.D’Addona traces the history of each player from birth through their careers, especially those with the Detroit Tigers, and then follows their lives after their playing days ended. While Crawford and Manush came from small towns, Heilmann was the first star to reach the major leagues from the San Francisco Bay area, which would later produce the DiMaggio brothers. Each man stayed tied to the game after their careers in the big leagues came to a close. Crawford played four years in the Pacific Coast League and then umpired there for another four years; Heilmann had a 17-year career broadcasting Tiger games; and Manush bounced around the minor leagues for six years and in the 1950s became a scout and coach for the Washington Senators.The author presents an in-depth look at each man’s playing careers, occasionally giving too much detail. The 1907, 1908, and 1909 seasons when Cobb and Crawford led the Tigers to consecutive World Series often reads like a string of box scores. If you like to follow the day-to-day unfolding of a championship season, you will enjoy these chapters. However, if you like a broad overview of a season that focus on highlights and key games, you will appreciate the sections on Heilmann and Manush, which are not as detailed and make for a better read.The relationship between Cobb and Crawford is interesting. When Cobb was a rookie, Crawford showed him the proper way to play the outfield, an action greatly appreciated by the Georgia Peach. Yet, the next year Cobb accused Crawford of being one of the parties that sawed his specially made bats in half, a rookie prank not accepted by an angry Cobb. However, when Cobb was indefinitely suspended for going into the stands to fight a heckler, Crawford was among the Tigers who staged a one-game protest over the suspension. And it was Cobb who campaigned behind the scenes to get Crawford elected to the Hall of Fame. I wish that the author had explored this complex association more fully.There are some stylistic problems with this book. First, the author overuses long bloc quotations. There are almost twenty that are a half page or longer, one of which is nearly two pages. Many of these quotes could have been paraphrased using much shorter quotes within. Second, the author is constantly using the phrase “future Hall of Famer” in introducing pitchers faced by the Crawford, Heilmann, and Manush, but then continues to use the phrase when mentioning the same pitchers later in the text. Lastly, the author writes that President Woodrow Wilson asked Congress to declare war on Germany after German submarines sank two American submarines in international waters. The U.S. vessels sunk were actually merchant ships. Despites these problems, the author is to be congratulated for bringing to print the lives and careers of three of the all-time greats of the game of baseball.

Each of these men in his own right was a superstar and baseball is no different from any other sport. If you play with better players you will be a better player yourself. This is true in this case as well. Any combination of these men could be considered one of the greatest outfields of all time. The author has done a great job reviewing the careers of the men involved as they relate to Cobb. Having just finished this book I can say it took me back in time to a day when baseball as a game was more important than baseball as a business. A great job sir and I will recommend it to my friends!!!!!!
