At the begiining of the twentieth century Hal Chase emerged as one of baseball's greatest players, though also as one of its most scandalous characters. But as Donald Dewey and Nicholas Acocella reveal in their groundbreaking biography, Chase was also a scapegoat for baseball notables with hands even dirtier than his.
Donald Dewey¿has published more than thirty books of fiction, nonfiction, and drama, including the history of baseball fans¿The Tenth Man¿and the novels¿The Fantasy League Murders¿and¿The Bolivian Sailor.¿Nicholas Acocella¿is the author or coauthor of several books on baseball, including (with Donald Dewey)¿The New Biographical History of Baseball: The Classic¿and¿Total Ballclubs.
