Hardcover. Condición: Fine. Estado de la sobrecubierta: fine. Second edition. First printing. A fine, fresh, unused example in equally fine dust jacket. Hardcover. A book that tells the real story of where baseball came from (forget Abner Doubleday and maybe as well Alexander Cartwright and the 1846 Knickerbocker Club and the 1869 Cincinnati Red Stockings). When the first professional league was formed in 1871, baseball was already a fully formed modern sport, played by thousands of ordinary people who lived lives outside of sport. Professional baseball may have invented itself but not the sport.…

Hardback. Condición: New. The fascinating, true, story of baseball's amateur origins. "Explores the conditions and factors that begat the game in the 19th century and turned it into the national pastime.A delightful look at a young nation creating a pastime that was love from the first crack of the bat."-Paul Dickson, The Wall Street JournalBaseball's true founders don't have plaques in Cooperstown. The founders were the hundreds of uncredited amateurs - ordinary people - who played without gloves, facemasks or performance incentives in the middle decades of the 19th century. Unlike today's pro athletes, they lived full lives outside of sports. They worked, built businesses and fought against the South in the Civil War.But that's not the way the story has been told. The wrongness of baseball history can be staggering. You may have heard that Abner Doubleday or Alexander Cartwright invented baseball. Neither did. You may have been told that a club called the Knickerbockers played the first baseball game in 1846. They didn't. You have read that baseball's color line was uncrossed and unchallenged until Jackie Robinson in 1947. Nope. You have been told that the clean, corporate 1869 Cincinnati Red Stockings were baseball's first professional club. Not true. They weren't the first professionals; they weren't all that clean, either. You may have heard Cooperstown, Hoboken, or New York City called the birthplace of baseball, but not Brooklyn. Yet Brooklyn was the home of baseball's first fans, the first ballpark, the first statistics-and modern pitching.Baseball was originally supposed to be played, not watched. This changed when crowds began to show up at games in Brooklyn in the late 1850s. We fans weren't invited to the party; we crashed it. Professionalism wasn't part of the plan either, but when an 1858 Brooklyn versus New York City series accidentally proved that people would pay to see a game, the writing was on the outfield wall.When the first professional league was formed in 1871, baseball was already a fully formed modern sport with championships, media coverage, and famous stars. Professional baseball invented an organization, but not the sport itself. Baseball's amazing amateurs had already done that.Thomas W. Gilbert's history is for baseball fans and anyone fascinating by history, American culture, and how great things began.…

Hardcover. Condición: new. Hardcover. "A brilliant new approach to our game and its author tells a hundred stories you haven't heard before. It is my honor to invite you to enter into his world."-John Thorn, Official Historian, Major League BaseballHere's the fascinating origin story of baseball, where America's first sport came from and how it conquered a nation. Baseball's true founders were the thousands of amateurs -- ordinary people -- who played without gloves, facemasks or performance incentives in the middle decades of the 19th century.
