Connie Mack a Baseball Legend Who Built and Skinned a Era
Connie Mack managed the Athletics from 1901 to 1950 and owned the club, surviving lean years while assembling pennant winners. His 1929–1931 team featured Hall of Famers Grove Cochrane Simmons Foxx, and he remained mentally sharp into old age, famously correcting an umpire to reverse a call. Fire at Connie Mack Stadium rekindled memories of his storied career.
