C. F. Payne.
Handsome, expansive portraits accompany Nash's incisive alphabetic verse about nineteenth- and early-twentieth-century baseball stars (first published in SPORT magazine in 1949). Nash's daughter, Linell Nash Smith, contributes thumbnail biographies of each player to round out the proceedings. A witty, informative, and attractively packaged volume. Websites.
