From Library Journal
Alexander, a Hall-of-Famer since 1938, pitched 373 winning games during his tenure with three teams. This poignant saga tells of Alexander's tragic post-baseball life, during which he sank into an alcoholic stupor. This well-written, appealing account will do well in most collections.

Product Description
Grover Cleveland Alexander is one of sport's most tragic heroes. His 373 National League victories set a record which has never since been challenged. His diamond achievements brought him into baseball's Hall of Fame. However, his biblography is not a simple recital of victories on the field. It tells also of his failures off the playing field as an alcoholic and epileptic living out a tortured life.
