“Lion of the League, by Larry R. Gerlach, gives readers three books for the price of one: a biography of Bob Emslie, a largely forgotten baseball pioneer; a history of the evolution of umpiring from the beginning of professional baseball through the 1930s and a rare glimpse into minor league baseball from its earliest days. Gerlach makes a strong case for Emslie’s candidacy for the National Baseball Hall of Fame with his meticulous research of Canadian and American sources and his careful and compelling writing.”—The Seymour Medal Selection Committee of Elena Elms (chair), R.J. Lesch, and Steve Gietschier
