Before multimillion-dollar salaries, luxury boxes, and player
strikes became synonymous with professional sports, there existed
the belief in playing simply "for the love of the game." Nothing
captures that spirit better than these twenty classic pieces about
America's favorite pastime. Collected here are the writings of Ring
Lardner, Zane Grey, the Giants' immortal Christy Mathewson, Grover
Cleveland Alexander, Finley Peter Dunne (who for a time was
America's most popular humorist after Mark Twain), Burt Standish
(creator of that all-American hero, Frank Merriwell), and many
more. Baseball's golden era may have long since passed, but in the
pages of Great American Baseball Stories, you can still sit in the
bleachers for a nickel. Relive the golden era of baseball with
timeless classics from: Albert G. Spalding Henry Chadwick Ernest
Lawrence Thayer Grantland Rice Sol White Brig. Gen. Fredrick
Funston Zane Grey Candy Cummings Alfred H. Spink Burt L. Standish
Lester Chadwick Finley Peter Dunne Christy Mathewson Damon Runyon
