Hey guys, just wanted to share a link with you about a book I've been writing called:
History of the Base Ball A comprehensive look at the base balls used from the beginning of the game to present day.
While I'm sure you've seen many baseball books about baseball history and the players, this is the first of its kind to represent the ball itself in such a detailed way. The book is highly illustrated, with over 150 pages dedicated to to the ball itself. It will feature in chronological order
EVERY ball used in the AL & NL from the start of each league, along with a pre-professional league section detailing Lemon, belt, early figure eight, etc. base balls.
My book is still in production, and of course I value your opinions and feedback. Please if you could take the time to shoot on over to my website and take a sneak peek. I am also looking for contributors to the book as there are a few things that I do not have in my personal collection that I would like to include in the book.
I have spoken with a few interested publishers, however any information from you guys on tips for maybe getting sponsorship from Spalding, Rawlings, etc. or if you "know a guy" I would appreciate a direct email.
Thank you,
Brandon M. Grunbaum
