In late 1913, the newly formed Federal League declared itself a
major league in competition with the established National and
American Leagues. Backed by some of America's wealthiest merchants
and industrialists, the new organization posed a real challenge to
baseball's prevailing structure. For the next two years the
well-established leagues fought back furiously in the press, in the
courts, and on the field. The story of this fascinating and complex
historical battle centers on the machinations of both the owners
and the players, as the Federals struggled for profits and status,
and players organized baseball's first real union. Award-winning
author Daniel R. Levitt gives the most authoritative account yet
published of the short-lived Federal League, the last professional
baseball league to challenge the National and American League
monopoly. This paperback edition was first printed in hardcover as
The Battle That Forged Modern Baseball. An eBook edition is also
available under the original title.
