    J. Thomas Hetrick. Chris Von der Ahe and the St. Louis Browns. Lanham : Scarecrow Press, . pp. Cloth, $.. Ron Kaplan Before there was George Steinbrenner, there was Christian Frederick Wilhelm Von der Ahe. Before Ted Turner, the peripatetic owner of the Atlanta Braves, donned the flannels for a one-game stint as field manager, there was Von der Ahe. In fact, the stereotypical “magnate” running the club both on and off the . , field, bellowing commands, chintzing on his players’ salaries can be traced to this German entrepreneur from the late nineteenth century. Chris Von der Ahe and the St. Louis Browns, J. Thomas Hetrick’s account of this “strange baseball odyssey,” has all the ingredients of a made-for- movie: melodrama, political intrigue, sex, and comedy, to name a few. According to Hetrick, Von der Ahe “loved to portray himself as a one-time poor immigrant who braved a perilous sea voyage to come to America. Arriving in the United States alone and near penniless, [he] started out as a grocery clerk. Within the space of fifteen years he had become a store proprietor, saloon owner, real estate holder, landlord and baseball magnate.” He knew little about the finer points of the game yet, as is often the case with men of his ilk, “fancied himself as an excellent judge of ballplayer abilities, although the facts say otherwise.” Believe it or not, the St. Louis Browns once were the class of baseball (back in the s), and Von der Ahe was understandably proud. He spared no expense in presenting his product, gussying up his ballparks, serving as a generous host for the press, and striving always to improve the team and, by extension, his own image.
