Old Time Baseball : America's Pastime in the Gilded Age Hardback
by Harvey Frommer
Hardback
Description
In this delightful history of the sport, Frommer captures the flavor, smell, and craziness of the early days of baseball.
Starting with its invention in 1842 by the descendant of a British sea captain (and not Abner Doubleday), Frommer traces the development of the sport from the first games on a vacant lot at 27th and Madison in New York to the turn of the century, when the National League was emerging as the preeminent forum for truly professional baseball.
