The last independent major league ended its brief run in 1915,
after only two seasons at the national pastime's top level. But no
competitor to establishment baseball ever exerted so much influence
on its rival, with some of the most recognizable elements of the
game today--including the commissioner system, competition for free
agents, baseball's antitrust exemption, and even the beloved
Wrigley Field--traceable to the so-called outlaw organization known
as the Federal League of Base Ball Clubs. This comprehensive
history covers the league from its formation in 1913 through its
buyout, dissolution, and legal battles with the National and
American leagues. The day-to-day operation of the franchises, the
pennant races and outstanding players, the two-year competitive
battle for fans and players, and the short- and long-term impact on
the game are covered in detail.
