Item description from seller

Brown cloth. Hardcover presentation copy. To the lower, front cover there is stamped in gilt "HON. A. B. CHANDLER". Chandler was the second commissioner of baseball. His most significant action as commissioner was the approval of Jackie Robinson's contract with the Brooklyn Dodgers, effectively integrating Major League Baseball. Laid in loose is the endpaper and half-title page from Frederick Lieb's 1947 book, "The Boston Red Sox". This page is inscribed by Lieb to Chandler and mentions his second World's Series as Baseball's No. 1 Man. These pages have staining about the edges. The book is in very good condition although does have some foxing to the page edges. Very tight and otherwise clean.; 12mo 7" - 7½" tall; 287 pages; Signed by Author.
