Connie Mack: The Turbulent and Triumphant Years, 1915-1931The Philadelphia Athletics dominated the first fourteen years of the American League, winning six pennants through 1914 under the leadership of their founder and manager, Connie Mack.

The Philadelphia Athletics dominated the first fourteen years of the American League, winning six pennants through 1914 under the leadership of their founder and manager, Connie Mack. But beginning in 1915, where volume 2 in Norman L. Macht's biography picks up the story, Mack's teams fell from pennant winners to last place and, in an unprecedented reversal of fortunes, stayed there for seven years. World War I robbed baseball of young players, and Mack's rebuilding efforts using green youngsters of limited ability made his teams the objects of public ridicule.At the age of fifty-nine and in the face of widespread skepticism and seemingly insurmountable odds, Connie Mack reasserted his genius, remade the A's, and rose again to the top, even surpassing his earlier success. Baseball biographer and historian Macht recreates what may be the most remarkable chapter in this larger-than-life story. He shows us the man and his time and the game of baseball in all its nitty-gritty glory of the 1920s, and how Connie Mack built the 1929-1931 champions of Foxx, Simmons, Cochrane, Grove, Earnshaw, Miller, Haas, Bishop, Dykes--a team many consider baseball's greatest ever.

Misinformation!
Color: Dark Black, Color: Dark Black
Be aware that this does NOT ship with a class 4 gas lift. The whole reason I bought this chair was because it shows in the advertising this comes with a class 4 lift. Have contacted the seller and gotten the "we have a 1 year warranty" line. I am in the 300+ lb weight class. I have had many MANY other class 3 lifts and I know it will work as intended for about 2.5 years, and then it will slowly fail and not be able to stay up.

Nice and Sturdy. Great quality
Color: Dark Black
This a very well built sturdy chair. It was easy to put together and it came very fast in the mail. I have had 2 other office chairs made by other compaines and they were nice but they both seemed a little loose and not solid enough. they all lasted less than an year. This one is solid, well built and will likely last a lone time. It is easy to adjust also. Its nice and wide also.

Great find!!
Color: White Rose Velvet, Color: White Rose Velvet
This thing rocks. I hope it lasts longer than my last gaming chair bc it was double the price. It arrived days earlier than estimated, is soft, comfortable, and really pretty. I did not love the instructions, but I figured out assembly without too much trouble. It reclines without falling over and goes up and down smoothly. My cats immediately love it, so I’m really happy! Let’s hope it withstands longevity.
