Default New Book on History of Baseball

Posted By: Scott Forrest

David did a great job of taking the reader through his own research journey and thought processes. I especially liked part about "stoball", an extremely early ancestor of cricket and baseball, being a game attached to fertility rights, played by both girls and boys. He even included a poem that compared the old tripod to the sticks used in the game - probably a lot of truth in that. Baseball truly IS religion!
