Inhoud:

It may be America's game, but no one seems to know how or when baseball really started. This work brings fresh evidence of baseball's origins into play. It tackles one stubborn misconception after another, debunking the enduring belief that baseball descended from the English game of rounders and explains the Abner Doubleday-Cooperstown story.
