Synopsis

The Players League of 1890 was the most revolutionary event in baseball’s history. It was an entire league run by the players themselves. Why did it happen?

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 and the Players League that nearly upended baseball as we know it.

This book explains all aspects of why baseball’s most innovative league came into existence. Rob Bauer will show you how greed, the reserve clause, and baseball’s structure played a critical role in the formation of the Players League. 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.

This book has the entire story of why the National League’s players struck out on their own in 1890 and created their own league. Some parts of the story are humorous, others tragic, but they reveal how 1890 became a turning point in baseball’s history.
