{"product_id":"9781467137010","title":"Cleburne Baseball: A Railroader History","description":"\u003cbr\u003eShortly after Cleburne landed the largest railroad shops west of the Mississippi, it set its sights on securing a professional baseball team. Against the odds, Cleburne became a Texas League town in 1906. After the first championship, the Railroaders loaded a train and left Cleburne. The town's professional teams would amass two championships, three pennants and several legendary major league players, including Tris Speaker, before disappearing. Despite lacking a professional club, the town continued to field teams at all levels, until the Railroaders made their triumphant return in 2017. Scott Cain shares a century of Cleburne baseball, including the cowboys who gunned down fly balls to intimidate umps, the pro team that played the Chicago White Sox and the city councilman who was a scorekeeper for the Negro Leagues in the 1950s.","brand":"History Press, The","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47037810999536,"sku":"9781467137010","price":21.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781467137010_p0.jpg?v=1763690828","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781467137010","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
