Parisian Bob Caruthers - Baseball's First Two-Way Star

Countless books have been written covering the minutest aspect of baseball. This is the first to focus on a small but essential piece of every game played during the last 100-plus years--the lineup card, used to record the full lineup and batting order for both teams.Drawing on input from dozens of memorabilia experts, collectors, team and league executives, umpires, coaches and managers, the author tells the story of the lineup card's role in America's pastime, from its history and usage to cards from famous games and the people who collect them. Nearly 200 illustrations include cards for Sandy Koufax's 1965 perfect game, Cal Ripken's record-breaking 2,131st consecutive game and the final game of Boston's first World Series title in 86 years.
