Branch Rickey: Baseball’s Ferocious Gentleman by Lee Lowenfish

“[A] well-written, carefully researched, judicious appraisal of one of the most energetic, visionary, and creative men ever to inhabit the front office of a baseball team. . . . It is a measure of Rickey’s unflagging energy and creativity that Branch Rickey, a superbly detailed text, is such a lengthy volume: the man accomplished enough for several lifetimes. Lowenfish has given us a definitive portrait of a great American original.”—Elysian Fields Quarterly
