There was time when baseball captured the imagination of the nation as if all other sports were played as warm-up acts, a time when the "numbers" in baseball were the scores from games the might before instead of the seven digit player salary figures that command most of today's attention. John Fetzer: On a Handshake takes you back to that era with this rare glimpse into the life of one of baseball's greatest owners.
John Fetzer: On a Handshake will make fans of baseball and scholars of sports history long for the days when deals were made with handshakes and not with lawyers.
