Mack Remains As Old Guard Leader In Major League Talk
The veteran E Mack presides as McGraw retires and the Uncle leaves the leagues. At 70 he keeps going and reflects on a career that reshaped teams, including sending Simmons Haas and Dykes to the White Sox. He cites Ty Cobb as greatest, Matty as best pitcher, and recalls the 1914 dismantling of a legendary lineup alongside anecdotes about Waddell and other stars.
