คำอธิบาย
The Gilt Edge of Ambition is a narrative history of power, sport, and risk in turn-of-the-century California, centered on the rise and fall of Sacramento's forgotten professional baseball empire. At its center stands Edward L. Kripp-a gambler, entrepreneur, and baseball magnate who helped organize the California League and later built Sacramento's Buffalo Park-whose career reveals how early professional baseball took shape at the volatile intersection of money, politics, and vice.
