ISBN10: 0195059123, ISBN13: 9780195059120, [publisher: Oxford University Press, Oxford] Softcover Paperback. In this first volume of two, Harold Seymour traces the growth of baseball from early English children's games to the formation in 1903 of the two present-day professional major leagues. By investigating previously unexamined sources, he uncovers the real story of baseball's evolution in the United States from a gentleman's amateur sport of "well-bred play followed by well-laden banquet tables" into a professional sport where big leagues operate under their ownrules. Offering countless colourful anecdotes and a wealth of new information, Seymour explodes many cherished myths. He unveils the influence of baseball on American business, manners, morals, socialinstitutions and show business and sketches revealing portraits of the men who became the first professional players, club owners, and managers. These two critically-acclaimed volumes mark the beginning of a monumental multi-volume study of baseball by the man whom Sports Illustrated has called "the Edward Gibbon of baseball history." Taken together, they recount the story of the origins and development of baseball from a child's game into a highly organized business and social institution.
