The Roaring Redhead: Larry MacPhail-Baseball's Great Innovator

by Don Warfield

For years the story of Leland Stanford "Larry" MacPhail--a man who had an important and enduring impact on the game of baseball--curiously remained untold, leaving a major gap in the chronicle of baseball history. Don Warfield provides the first and lasting link in that lore with The Roaring Redhead, a penetrating portrait of one of baseball's most passionate and fascinating personalities.
