When the members of the first baseball players' union formed their
own league in open revolt against the reserve clause and other
restrictive practices of the National League, baseball journalism
moved out of the curiosity shop of mainstream journalism and into
the newsroom. Baseball journalists Henry Chadwick, T.H. Murnane and
Ella Black covered the labor struggle on the field and in the front
offices - and they took sides: one as a mouthpiece for the
capitalist owners of the National League, one as a omer for the
cooperatively operated Players' League, and the other more or less
in the middle. The roots of baseball writing as we know it today
are visible in their coverage that season. Through a close
examination of their work, this book tells the stories of the three
sportswriters and the development of sports journalism in response
to the famed "Brotherhood War" of 1890.
