<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>In 1954, one year after Baltimore bought the St. Louis Browns, the New York Yankees hired former Browns executive and owner William O. DeWitt as assistant to general manager George Weiss. DeWitt, the news announced, was considered an astute baseball man who would have a definite role to play with the Yankees. Baseball fans had assumed that once the Browns were no longer the American League's doormats, DeWitt would quietly retire. But for DeWitt, a shrewd protege of Branch Rickey, his years with the Browns began a long and fascinating career, including his years as owner and general manager of the Cincinnati Reds. This first ever biography focuses on the career of a baseball executive who contributed greatly to America's pastime.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>A member of the Society for American Baseball Research, <b>Burton A.
