Review

"Sportswriter [Peter] Schilling has written one of the best baseball novels since Howard Frank Mosher's WAITING FOR TEDDY WILLIAMS."

Publisher's note

In an evocative novel that brings the 1944 baseball season to life, injured war veteran Bill Veeck purchases the Philadelphia Athletics and, desperate for a pennant, recruits the legendary stars of the Negro Leagues to form a team that includes Josh Gibson, Satchel Paige, Roy Campanella, and others.

Annotation

THE END OF BASEBALL imagines a parallel sports reality where the ambitious and idealistic owner of the 1944 Philadelphia Athletics recruits legendary real-life black players (Satchel Paige, Josh Gibson, etc.) from the Negro League and romps into the playoffs despite the vicious machinations of the racist commissioner.
