Baseball began as a schoolyard game, brought to America by the
colonists. It evolved rapidly over the second half of the
nineteenth century, with innovations and rule changes continuing
throughout the twentieth century and into the modern era. But why
and how did these changes take place? In Strike Four: The Evolution
of Baseball, Richard Hershberger examines the national pastime's
development, from the reasoning behind new rules and innovations to
the consequences of these changes-both intended and unintended-that
often led to a new round of modifications. Topics examined include
the dropped third strike, foul territory, nine innings, tagging up,
balls and strikes, tie games, equipment, the infield fly rule, and
many more. Ultimately, this book provides the reader with a
narrative history of how baseball evolved from an informal folk
game to the sport played in ballparks around the world today. As
such, Strike Four is a wonderful reference for sports fans and
historians of all generations.
