Synopsis

For the ardent baseball fan, what sets the sport apart - what makes it "the perfect game" - are the treasured memories it evokes of a time gone by. This nostalgic visual history celebrates more than 150 years of baseball's - and America's - past. Beginning in the 1840s and continuing through to the end of the 20th century, the book captures in portraits, watercolours, carvings, painted signs, lithographs and a wide variety of everyday objects reminders of baseball the way it used to be.
