Baseball: The People's Gamethe People's Game

With "Baseball: The People's Game," Dr. Seymour--the man whom "Sports Illustrated" has called "the Edward Gibbon of baseball history"--continues his monumental multi-volume study of the sport. This third volume is devoted entirely to the game outside of the professional league. Syemour examines the bond between baseball and boys through decades, the game's place in institutions, the rise of women's baseball, and the struggles of black players and clubs, bringing to life the central role of baseball for generations of Americans.
