		Back in the early 1960's, Lawrence Ritter had the idea of searching out great and good baseball players from the past and interviewing them from a book.
		The tapes of the interview Ritter made with such players as Joe Wood and Sam Crawford were turned into cassettes and CD's a couple of years ago after sitting in the Baseball Hall of Fame for more than three decades.
		All of the players on the tapes are still sharp, and some of them are even willing to admit that today's players could hold their own with the stars of their era.

		The majority of the changes are found in the two chapters on modern times: top players today have been substituted for favorites from the 1980s, and there's a take on the effects of the 1994 strike.
		Concentrating on the outstanding players of each era, the history of professional baseball is looked at in 20-year periods beginning in 1900 and concluding with the modern-day game.
		Baseball has had more than its share of unusual characters and bizarre events, and Ritter's portrayals and descriptions are sure to please both young and old fans of the game.

	Yanksfan vs Soxfan: Book Notes #2: Lawrence Ritter
		Ritter, of course, authored The Glory of Their Times, the wonderful oral history that brought the game’s deadball era to life through the words of the men that played it.
		Ritter collected the book’s stories in the early 1960s, travelling 75,000 miles with his tape recorder to interview bygone stars with names like Specs, Chief, Lefty, Goose, and Rube (two of them).
		The enterprise was inspired by Ritter’s desire to capture the voices of these men before they passed forever into obscurity (Ty Cobb’s death in 1961 had sparked the project).

	The Glory of Their Times by Lawrence Ritter
		A loving look back at the way baseball used to be, and the legends who played the game--immortals like Babe Ruth, Ty Cobb, Honus Wagner, and many others--it's a delightfully evocative work full of fascinating characters and wonderful anecdotes.
		This is also the story of author Lawrence S. Ritter's six year quest to find the heroes of a bygone era.
		He interviewed more than two dozen players from the turn of the century and the decades shortly thereafter, including many now in the Baseball Hall of Fame, then let them tell their own stories, in their own words.

		The voices of the game's distant past continue to reverberate with a distinct freshness in Lawrence S. Ritter's The Glory of Their Times.
		A delight from cover to cover, Glory is the next best thing to having been there in the days when the ball may have been dead, but the personalities were anything but.
		Lawrence Ritter created the standard for the oral history of baseball and it's been imitated many times, but never as well (Don Honig came close, though).

		And in his introduction, Ritter reveals that it was only years after the project that it occurred to him that one of the things driving him was the death of his own father.
		It does for all of us what Ritter only belatedly realized it was doing for him, it provides a vital connection to an earlier time, to the world of our fathers and grandfathers.

	ToxicUniverse.com - Ritter, Lawrence S. - 1966 - The Glory of Their Times Books Review
		Not only does Ritter include firsthand accounts of famous moments like Merkle's boner and Snodgrass' blunder, but the insider stories chronicle the early days of baseball like no other book has done, preserving its early history in the same narrative style lucky people hear from their grandparents.
		Many of the players have Ty Cobb stories—quite natural considering that he was the most prominent player at the turn of the century and equally famous for being competitive and having few friends.
		In lieu of those live opportunities, we are all fortunate that Lawrence Ritter took his tape recorder across the country in search of these wonderful baseball stories and leaves us a book for the ages.
