Viac o knihe
Focusing on the overlooked bonus rule of 1953-1957, the book explores its impact on baseball by detailing how players signing contracts over $4,000, known as bonus babies, were forced to remain on major league rosters for two seasons. While it produced Hall of Famers like Al Kaline and Sandy Koufax, it also stunted the careers of many unprepared young players. Through extensive research and interviews, the author reveals the rule's consequences and its influence on the evolution of player contracts and the free agent draft.
