### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    A charming book
  

*by H***E on Reviewed in the United States on October 30, 2018*

I found this to be a charming book about two people who in a way personified the American dream. Hynd takes us through the early 20th century and introduces us to the names of big entertainment. In a curious way baseball players also became entertainers on the stage. It was usually vaudeville and famous players of the 1910-1920 ilk often became acts on the vaudeville circuit during the off season. It was there that the two up and coming giants of their field, Richard Lemarquis aka Rube Marquard and Minnie Guyer aka Blossom Seeley became lovers. She became one of the biggest stars of theater, and he eventually became a Hall of Famer.Their marriage didn't last long but they remained friends for life. Their stories and those of that era are told in this short and unique tale of the intertwining of baseball and vaudeville. I think fans of baseball, historians, and entertainment buffs will find this a fun read.

    Baseball and nostalgia
  

*by S***R on Reviewed in the United States on August 24, 2011*

This is "Baseball, Vaudeville, Romance and Scandal in the Ragtime Era" as advertised, but be aware that it's not a steamy novel but a true story, full of researched anecdotes.  I'm not sure everyone will love this book as much as I did, but I'm old enough to remember when the New York Giants played in the Polo Grounds, and their arch enemies were the Brooklyn Dodgers (my team), and the Yankees. Although Marquard was playing a generation and a half before my time I still remember the names of a lot of the players talked about (Christy Mathewson, Carl Hubble, etc). And Marquard set a record of 19 wins in a row in one season that hasn't been broken in a hundred years, while Babe Ruth's home run record and all the others are long since gone. In fact, no one has even come close. This was the age of iron men. Rube  once pitched a 21 inning victory. Pitched it all himself and didn't skip a rotation afterwards. There's also a lot of description about what vaudeville was like in its heyday. It's a very interesting read. But only if this kind of book is your kind of thing.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars
