The great encyclopedia of 19th-century major league baseball

"This authoritative compendium presents facts, statistics, photographs, and analyses that define baseball in its formative first decades. The result is an essential work of reference and at the same time a treasury of baseball history." "This new edition adds much material unearthed since the first edition, fills gaps, and corrects errors, while presenting a number of new stories and details that improve the previous edition in more than 1,200 instances."--Jacket.
