America's National Game

542 pages of Baseball History up to 1911; updated in 1991, unabridged. A must for every baseball buff who wants to learn about America's baseball heritage. A. G. Spaulding wrote in his foreword to this book: "...I find myself engaged in the undertaking of writing, not a history of Base Ball, but the simple story of America's National Game as I have come to know it. I have simply sought in these pages to deal with the beginnings of things...which will enable the reader to view certain historic scenes that in my opinion constitute the chief landmarks of Base Ball history...I have undertaken briefly to touch upon the several epochs that impress me as of greatest importance. I have interspersed in this narrative some reminiscences in which the personal equation is conspicuously present...This book is simply my contribution to the history of the game..."
