The only book ever to win both the Seymour Medal and the Casey
Award as the best baseball book of the year, Peter Morris's
magisterial encyclopedia of the national pastime will surprise,
delight, and educate even the most knowledgeable fan. With its
thousand-odd entries, A Game of Inches illuminates the origins of
items ranging from catcher's masks to hook slides to intentional
walks to baseball's reserve clause. Now with new material and
completely redesigned in a one-volume paperback, the book remains
endlessly fascinating, impeccably researched, and engagingly
written.
