He then went on to win all three games of baseball's first World Series. Fifty-nine in '84 tells the dramatic story not only of that amazing feat of grit but also of big-league baseball two decades after the Civil War—a brutal, bloody sport played barehanded, the profession of uneducated, hard-drinking men who thought little of cheating outrageously or maiming an opponent to win. It is the tale, too, of the woman Radbourn loved, Carrie Stanhope, the alluring proprietress of a boarding-house with shady overtones, a married lady who was said to have personally known every man in the National League. Wonderfully entertaining, Fifty-nine in '84 is an indelible portrait of a legendary player and a fascinating, little-known era of the national pastime.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":51598035353888,"sku":"NEW0061825867","price":42.77,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Used - Good","offer_id":51598035386656,"sku":"USED0061825867","price":7.26,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/content_5d508e35-e123-4437-9435-8330d694c37b.jpg?v=1778418378","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/fifty-nine-in-84-old-hoss-radbourn-barehanded-baseball-and-the-greatest-season-a-pitcher-ever-had-0061825867","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
