Excerpt from The Real Billy Sunday: The Life and Work of Rev. William Ashley Sunday, D. D. The Baseball EvangelistI undertook this work believing that I ought to do it. Some years ago I was with Mr. Sunday as his confidential assistant, and so came to know him intimately. This made me conversant with the way in which his great campaigns are conducted, and gave me a knowledge of the details and machinery of his meetings. Having been a student of character all my life, I do not believe any other man has a clearer comprehension of the real Sun day than myself. Others who have been associated with him may possibly know him as well, but I am confident no one can know him better.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Forgotten Books

<p>A famous baseball player and an even more famous evangelist, William Ashley (Billy) Sunday was one of the most colorful characters of the early twentieth century. Known for being the fastest base-runner in baseball, Sunday turned down large salary offers to preach against liquor and proclaim the gospel after he came to Christ at the Pacific Garden Mission in Chicago. An estimated 100 million people heard Sunday’s preaching in numerous campaigns before the days of loudspeakers and television. He was one of the first preachers to use the radio to communicate the message of the gospel. Thousands walked the "sawdust trail" at Sunday’s famous tabernacle campaigns.</p>
