Synopsis

Umpires played a decisive role in baseball in the 1880s. When players learned who would umpire their games, they asked questions. Is he tough? Is he fair? How much cheating can I get away with?

You love baseball and take pride in your knowledge of the game. But if you’re like many fans, you know almost nothing about baseball in the 1800s.

The Outside the Lines of Gilded Age Baseball series explains all aspects of 1880s baseball. Rob Bauer will show you how gambling, umpires, and racism played a crucial role in baseball’s most colorful decade. He is a member of the Society of American Baseball Research’s 19th Century Baseball Research Committee. Bauer has also presented research at the Baseball Hall of Fame.

Whether it’s players betting on games, umpires fighting fans and being drunk while on the job, or the shameful treatment of African-Americans, this book has the stories of 1880s baseball. Some are funny, others tragic, but they reveal what baseball was like in its early years.
