A propos de cet article

viii, 286, [8] pages. Appendix. Illustrations (23 photographs and drawings). Notes. Selected Bibliography. Index. Peter Morris (born 1962, Birmingham, England) is an American baseball researcher and author. A lifelong love of baseball led him to membership in the Society for American Baseball Research, where he became an active member of the Biographical Committee, researching the lives of early major league baseball players. Morris is a highly respected baseball researcher, and is often interviewed or cited by major media outlets such as National Public Radio. He has written or co-authored nine books (as of 2014), including the major two-volume work A Game of Inches: The Stories Behind the Innovations that Shaped Baseball in 2006, the first book to ever win both the Society for American Baseball Research's Seymour Medal and the Casey Award. In 2012, he served on the Baseball Hall of Fame's pre-integration committee. Derived from a Kirkus review: In the three decades before the Civil War, baseball was in its infancy. There were no standardized rules for the game, much less a consensus on what to call it. Using first-person recollections, recorded statistics and newspaper clippings, Morris identifies the era as crucial to baseball's emergence as the national sport. Some facts about the early game will likely surprise modern enthusiasts: e.g., the procedures before designated pitchers; players having to actually hit a player with the ball to record an out; and the traditional use of a single ball during the game. Morris puts baseball's far-flung evolution in context, jetting from town to town across the Eastern seaboard and the Midwest to illustrate how other locations began to adopt the game-or resist it via strict laws that prohibited public ball playing. The author emphasizes the game's origins, conveying the ethos of an era when the spirit of baseball was pure fun and social comity.…
