This history of America's pastime describes the evolution of
baseball from early bat and ball games to its growth and acceptance
in different regions of the country. The New York clubs (i.e., the
Atlantics, Excelsiors and Mutuals) are a primary focus, serving as
examples of how the sport became more sophisticated and popular.
The author compares theories about many of baseball's "inventors,"
exploring the often fascinating stories of several of baseball's
oldest founding myths. The impact of the Civil War on the sport is
discussed and baseball's unsteady path to becoming America's
national game is analyzed at length.
