Summary

"Baseball player and manager Hugh Ambrose Jennings was the kind of personality who inspired nicknames. Sportswriters called him "Ee-yah" for his famous coaching box cry and "Hustling Hughey" for his style of play. Jennings's story is emblematic of how the national pastime and the American dream came together in the early 20th century"--Provided by publisher.
