Among the many accolades Professor Chuck Fountain’s new book has received since its October debut is a mention in The Boston Globe’s “Best Books of 2015” list on December 6.  The Betrayal: The 1919 World Series and the Birth of Modern Baseball is listed in the Sport’s category.

Here’s what the Globe reviewer said, “Northeastern journalism professor Fountain delivers a literate and fascinating reconsideration of the 1919 Black Sox scandal and how it changed the way professional baseball conducted its business and managed its image.”

“The Betrayal” is also a finalist for Spitball Magazine’s CASEY Award for the best baseball book.
