Honus Wagner: A Biography

"Sadly, reading the story of this great man's life, you find yourself wishing Wagner would slip up, just once. Slug somebody. Do some horrible thing that would reveal his inner psychological torment....This book, unlike Al Stump's biography of Ty Cobb, will never be made into a movie, at least not until Hollywood begins to hanker again after characters who are likable, easygoing, accommodating, shy, thrifty, gentle, supportive, and patient.Jeanne Burke Devaleria is the author of 'Honus Wagner: A Biography', published 1998 under ISBN 9780822956655 and ISBN 0822956659.
