Judge Fuchs bought the Boston Braves in the early '20's and owned them into the mid '30s. A colorful owner and person of a basically bad team. He even became the manager of the team for one season. He was the owner in a last ditch effort to make enough money to keep team, he brought over Babe Ruth from Yankees, who were looking to move on from Babe. Unfortunately for Fuchs it didn't work out & he lost the team. Still had a long history with baseball and Boston after that though. The book itself was kind of put together with notes & things from memoirs that never got done. Book is rough but still lots of information about baseball at the time in there.
There were no copies in system so I had posted it after finishing and it has already been requested so I will be mailing it off this week.
