This is the glory of their times,

the story of the early days of baseball told by the men who played.

This is Larry Ritter.

I sometimes wonder what could have prompted me to embark on such a strange crusade,

searching the highways and byways of America for old ball players, a quest that preoccupied me for the better

part of six years.

For a long time I thought my travels had been inspired by the death of Ty Cobb in 1961,

and that I was pursuing a social goal,

recording for posterity the remembrances of a sport

that had played such a significant role in American life in the early years of the 20th century.

But now on reflection almost four decades later, I don't think my journey had much to do with social purposes at all.

Deep down it was a quest of a more personal nature.

It so happens that my own father died at about the same time as Ty Cobb.

Still vivid in my memory is the day when I was nine years old that my father took me by the hand to my first big league baseball game.

It seems to me now that I was trying to recapture that unforgettable ritual of childhood and

draw closer to a father I would never see again and I think that through the glory of their times I somehow succeeded.

This then is the way it was.
