Ed Barrow: The Bulldog Who Built the Yankees’ First Dynasty by Daniel Levitt

Levitt revisits the vexed matter of Sox owner Harry Frazee’s motives in selling baseball’s greatest player to New York and, in so doing, debunks the previous debunking of Glenn Stout and Richard A. Johnson in 2000, in Red Sox Century. . . . Eight years ago Stout and Johnson convinced me of their views; today I am just as convinced by Levitt.”—Katherine A. Powers, Boston Globe
