Description

 							
  
  
  
  The
authoritative compendium of facts, statistics, photographs, and analysis that defines baseball in its formative first
decades.
   
  This comprehensive reference work covers the early years of major league baseball from the
first game—May 4, 1871, a 2-0 victory for the Fort Wayne Kekiongas over the visiting Cleveland Forest City
team—through the 1900 season. Baseball historian David Nemec presents complete team rosters and detailed player,
manager, and umpire information, with a wealth of statistics to warm a fan’s heart.
   
  Sidebars
cover a variety of topics, from oddities—the team that had the best record but finished second—to analyses
of why Cleveland didn’t win any pennants in the 1890s. Additional benefits include dozens of rare illustrations
and narrative accounts of each year’s pennant race. Nemec also carefully charts the rule changes from year to
year as the game developed by fits and starts to formulate the modern rules. 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
fascinating details. David Nemec began the lifetime labor that helped produced this work in 1954 and admits it may never
end, as there always will be some obscure player whose birth date has not yet been found. Until perfection is achieved,
this work offers state-of-the-art accuracy and detail beyond that supplied by even modern baseball encyclopedias. As
Casey Stengel, who was born during this era, was wont to say, “you could look it up.” Now you can.

  Tour De Force!
  By Amazon Customer on May 28, 2009
  This is an incredible book for any
baseball fanatic. At last an encyclopedia on 19th century baseball. Building on his own obsessive interest in baseball
and on the work of other baseball fanatics, David Nemec has succeeded in creating an encyclopedia of major league
baseball as it existed in 1900, the dawn of the modern age of the game.
  
  Not only is this book a feast for
those who pour over baseball statistics, the narrative is quite good, too. One can watch the rules of the game evolving
as the 19th century rolls by. At last I understand William Hulbert role in establishing one of the first major league
and how such a league could survive without teams in Philadelphia and New York. There are also many sidebars
memorializing some of the characters of the game.
  
  Although not an inexpensive book, it is a good value
for the money. It's a University of Alabama Press product, large size and good quality paper. The book also contains an
extensive bibliography for further reading. It's the perfect gift for any baseball fan.
  
  An
absolute masterpiece
  By Marc Ranger on January 18, 2011
  If you're the type of baseball fan who owns
a baseball encyclopedia, you might think: "I don't need this book, I already got the stats from those years".
  
  Guess again.
  
  David Nemec's work is an absolute masterpiece. Not only have you the complete stats from
19th Century Major League Baseball, but in addition, a world of amazing, colorful and interesting short stories about
owners, players and franchises. Each and every season has his own resume, so you can truly feel the aroma of that
particular season.
  
  That book had me glued to it for some time...
