What is The Good Old Days: Baseball in the 1930s (Gilbert, Thomas W. American Game.) about?
Many baseball fans and historians view the 1930s as the "golden age of baseball". The reality is that the sport suffered as attendance plummeted because of the Great Depression. To survive the hard times, major league baseball introduced such innovations as night games, radio broadcasts, the all-star game and the Hall of Fame Thomas Gilbert tells the story of this tumultuous decade which featured some of the meanest, rowdiest, and most fun characters to have ever played in the game. <p>Discusses baseball events of the 1930s, including Hack Wilson's 1930 season, the last days of Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig's career, and the advent of baseball coverage on the radio. </p>
