About this product

Product Information

In this third edition of his lively history of America's game--widely recognized as the best of its kind--Benjamin G. Rader expands his scope to include commentary on Major League Baseball through the 2006 season: record crowds and record income, construction of new ballparks, a change in the strike zone, a surge in recruiting Japanese players, and an emerging cadre of explosive long-ball hitters.

Tackles the business and organizational evolution of the professional game, while not losing sight of how it was played on the field."

This work, thoughtfully constructed to locate the national pastime within a rich social and economic context, is a model of historical synthesis. . . .
