Judge Fuchs and the Boston Braves, 1923-1935: Robert S. Fuchs, Wayne Soini
Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
Judge Emil Fuchs owned the old National League franchise the Boston Braves (now the Atlanta Braves) from 1923 to 1935. Although his ballclub usually played dismally, Fuchs was a true innovator. He introduced to Boston Sunday baseball, “Ladies Days,” the youth “Knot Hole Gang” promotion, and the annual baseball writers’ dinner and briefly brought the Babe back to town. This book, coauthored by Fuchs’s son, is based in part on the recollections that Judge Fuchs left behind. The reader gets a bird’s-eye view of a time when teams were not owned by faceless conglomerates and fan appreciation was more emphasized. Boston area libraries should consider.?Paul M.
