{"product_id":"9780061825873","title":"Fifty-nine in '84","description":"\"All fans of baseball, all fans of a good story, will love this book.\" -- Professor Gordon Wood, Pulitzer and Bancroft Prize winner \"This is a beautifully written, meticulously researched story about a bygone baseball era that even die-hard fans will find foreign, and about a pitcher who might have been the greatest of all time.\" -- Joseph J. Ellis, Pulitzer prize-winning historian Following in the tradition of the sleeper bestseller Crazy '08, Fifty-Nine in '84 is the story of Charles Radbourn, a brilliant major league baseball pitcher who, in the 1884 season, won an astonishing 59 games, a record that has never been broken. Set against the backdrop of 19th century baseball, Fifty-Nine in '84 gives readers a glimpse of the dangerous and violent game that preceded the sport we enjoy today.","brand":"Edward Achorn","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45717532377406,"sku":"9780061825873","price":440.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4357\/7662\/products\/9780061825873_3c769ff5-c2a2-47d9-a74b-3b8b71e6088d.jpg?v=1707209772","url":"https:\/\/exclusivebooks.co.za\/products\/9780061825873","provider":"Exclusive Books Online","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
