Connie Mack (1862-1956) was the Grand Old Man of baseball and one of the game's first true celebrities. This book, spanning the first fifty-two years of Mack's life, through 1914, covers his experiences as player, manager, and club owner and will stand as the definitive biography of baseball's most legendary and beloved figure. Norman L. Macht chronicles Mack's little-known beginnings. He tells how Mack, a school dropout at fourteen, created strategies for winning baseball and principles for managing men long before there were notions of defining such subjects. And he details how Mack, a key figure in the launching of the American League in 1901, won six of the league's first fourteen pennants while serving as manager, treasurer, general manager, traveling secretary, and public relations and scouting director (all at the same time) for the Philadelphia Athletics. This book brings to life the unruly origins of baseball as a sport and a business. It also provides the first complete and accurate picture of a character who was larger than life and yet little known: the tricky, rule-bending catcher; the peppery field leader and fan favorite; the hot-tempered young manager. Illustrated with family photographs never before published, it affords unique insight into a colorful personality who helped shape baseball as we know it today.Binding Type: Hardcover

Very durable!
Color: Pink Cactus
One of the few actually tough chew toys for dogs who tear apart toys in seconds! My dog loves this thing and has yet to break into the rubber!

Dogs love them.
Size: Large, Color: 6 Packs
My dog loves playing with these toys. I also bought some for my daughter‘s dogs. They really love them. I would say the only downfall is that they shred easily. You’ll find little strips of yarn laying around. But that doesn’t bother me because they get a lot of enjoyment from them. I have bought them three different times.

My Dogs Fought Over These!
Size: Large, Color: 6 Packs, Size: Large, Color: 6 Packs
Pack of 6. I specifically ordered a pack of them so each dog would have their own. They still fought over them. lol I only see two of them now because they have hid them from each other. So far, they are holding up well. Heavy enough to toss to them but light enough not to hurt them. Loved the variety of colors. Only issue I have is they are a little small for my mastiff but still giving it 5 stars because the ad stated it was for medium dogs.

Pawesome variety box!
Size: Large, Color: 9 Packs, Size: Large, Color: 9 Packs
I’m a big fan of this box of tug toys. My dog loves to chew and play tug-of-war, and these have been a great fit for him. The quality is solid, and one box typically lasts us around 6 months. He’s now 3.5 years old, so he doesn’t chew as aggressively as he used to, which helps them last even longer.
You get a great variety in this box. It’s honestly like Christmas for him every time I bring out a new toy. I usually grab a couple and let him pick. The different shapes and sizes keep things interesting, and he enjoys all of them. The toys are lightweight but very durable, even for an aggressive chewer like mine.
The material is made of thinner rope strands, but they’re tightly woven, which makes them ideal for both tugging and chewing. I also think the texture helps with his teeth and keeps them a bit cleaner.
I do keep an eye on them once they start to unravel, since I don’t want him swallowing loose strings. That said, it takes a while for him to break them down, so I’m comfortable leaving them with him when I’m not home.
I’ve bought several of these boxes over the years. For the price, it’s a great value—about the same cost as a single tug toy at most pet stores. My dog is about 55 lbs, and these are a great size for him. Even the smaller ones get a lot of use. His favorites are the looped ones and the ones with balls—he gets excited every time I pull one out.
I’ve tried other tug toy variety packs, and they don’t compare to this one. If you’re looking for a reliable variety pack for your dog, I’d recommend this one with confidence.
