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.

Perfect heel!
Size: 11, Color: Gold/Glitter
Love these heels! I bought the gold and wasn’t expecting them to be most glittery. They are beautiful and comfortable! The heel is chunky enough that these walk like a wedge but don’t look like the heels from the lay 90’s. Love them and will be buying in different colors n

Great heels for beginners or comfy shoe girlies
Size: 11, Color: Nude/Clear
I am a sneaker/comfy shoe girlie. I bought these heels because it had so many great reviews. Baby!! They do not disappoint. I am 5’10 230lbs. I bought these in a size 11. This by far is the most comfortable heel I have ever worn. They are great and so comfortable to wear. Usually I bring an extra pair of flats to change into at the end of the night. No need for that with these. They are easy to walk in and they hold my weight. I love that they run a little big, I love that they have little extra space for wiggle room in the back. The only issue I had was they don’t run wide for an 11 so the toe strap was a little tight but it’s nothing a little stretching can’t help with (blow dryer and YouTube videos). Also it’s a quality shoe for a great price. Definitely will buy more in different colors.

Love these!
Size: 9, Color: Champagne-satin
I purchased these to attend a wedding as a guest. I wear a size 9 sneaker and ordered a size 9 in these. They fit well and are fairly comfortable during a quick try on and walk around. Theyre a little slick on the bottom but have a textured sole to help which i love. The color is so pretty and is true to what is pictured. I haven't worn these for an extended period of time, but feel as if they will be fairly comfortable for wedding wear. I love the chunk heel as it provides more support to walk around on. Overall great heel!

Beautiful Shoes, Bring Band-Aids
Size: 8, Color: Gold/Glitter
I bought these for a wedding and, let me tell you, they passed the ultimate test: an entire night of dancing like I was still in my twenties.
The shoes are cute, surprisingly sturdy, and looked great with my dress. They made it through hours of standing, walking, and questionable dance-floor decisions.
That said... my feet were not thrilled with me afterward. I ended up with blisters that seemed determined to become a permanent part of my personality for the next couple of weeks.
Would I wear these as an everyday shoe? Absolutely not.
Would I wear them to another wedding? Probably.
Were they worth the cost? Definitely.
Just do yourself a favor and pack some blister pads in your purse before you hit the dance floor.
