Description
Tris Speaker: The Rough-and-Tumble Life of a Baseball Legend is the first book to tell the full story of Speaker’s turbulent life and to document in sharp detail the grit and glory of his pivotal role in baseball’s dead-ball era.
Playing for the Boston Red Sox and the Cleveland Indians in the early part of the 20th century, Tris “Spoke” Speaker put up numbers that amaze us even today: his record for career doubles - 792 - may never be approached, let alone broken. Tris Speaker explores the colorful life behind the statistics, introducing listeners to a complex and contradictory Texan whose cowboy mentality never left him as he brawled his way through two decades in the big leagues.
Speaker’s career put him in the company of Ty Cobb and Christy Mathewson, Shoeless Joe Jackson, and Honus Wagner, and in describing it Timothy M. Gay gives a rousing account of some of the best baseball ever played - and some of the darkest moments that ever tainted a game and hastened the end of a career.
The book is published by University of Nebraska Press. The audiobook will be published by University Press Audiobooks.

Great book, but read it by yourself
The author did a great job. The problem is the narrator. He doesn’t seem to like and to know baseball and he reads like a robot.
At the end of chapter 6, he repeated the last paragraph 5 times !!!! It would have been nice to listen to the product before selling it.
I recommend the book, because Mr Gay did a great job of research. But buy the paper version and read it by yourself !
