Jeff Weiss’s Reviews > Lefty O'Doul: Baseball's Forgotten Ambassador > Status Update

Enjoyed the history of the Pacific Coast Leahue and the push for Japanese baseball. I grew up in the 1960's not knowing Lefty O'doul as a player or manager. I knew he had a bar/restaurant in San Francisco and maybe even went. I remember reading of some of his records. The book gave more details of his interactions with familiar baseball names such as Babe Ruth, Joe Dimaggio and Ted Williams among others.
