In his own unmistakably contrarian voice, Jerome Holtzman, national baseball columnist for The Chicago Tribune, has compiled the first complete history of the commissioners of baseball. With the office of the commissioner of baseball only recently filled, and the sport struggling to rebuild its image, there's never been a better time for an incisive history of the game's power brokers. Legendary figures such as Ford Frick, A. Bartlett Giamatti, Happy Chandler, and Judge Landis are brought to life as Holtzman takes us inside baseball's oval office and traces, in uncensored and lively detail, the dissolution of the commissioners' powers.

This the fourth in a 4-volume set including Congreve's poetry, his preface to Dryden's dramatic works and his brief contribution to THE TATTLER.( a periodical launched in London by the essayist Sir Richard Steele in April 1709, appearing three times weekly until January 1711. At first its avowed intention was to present accounts of gallantry, pleasure, and entertainment, of poetry, and of foreign and domestic news. These all were reported and "issued" from various London coffee and chocolate houses. In time The Tatler began to investigate manners and society, establishing its principles of ideal behaviour, its concepts of a perfect gentleman and gentlewoman, and its standards of good taste. Dueling, gambling, rakish behaviour, and coquettishness were criticized, and virtuous action was admired. Numerous anecdotes and stories gave point to the moral codes advanced. The periodical had an explicit Whig allegiance and was several times drawn into political controversy.
