Abstract "Few franchises in the deadball era won as consistently as the New York Giants and Philadelphia Athletics. The teams claimed 12 pennants and finished 2nd or higher 22 times. Author Rich Adler provides a researched account of the season-long dominance of the Giants and A's, the narrative building toward a dramatic collision in the Fall Classic"--Provided by publisher.
