"There is no greater honor for a major leaguer than being elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, New York. Since its creation in 1936, the Hall has inducted 346 individuals. Of this number, only 11 have been lawyers. This book celebrates this unique latter group, which comprises three players (Hughie Jennings, Jim O'Rourke, and Monte Ward); two managers (Miller Huggins and Tony La Russa); three executives (Larry MacPhail, Walter O'Malley, and Branch Rickey); and three commissioners (Happy Chandler, Bowie Kuhn, and Kenesaw Mountain Landis). Each contribution herein has been written by a law professor or law librarian and includes extensive notes and references. While highly enriching for those working in the field of law, this collection has value for any baseball fan interested in learning more about the Hall of Fame's 11 barristers -- Provided by publisher
