Summary
"This book combines author commentary, first-hand accounts, documenting the spread of baseball in and around Cleveland. Chapters follow the game's rise from the earliest reports on ball in 1841, to the era of loosely organized, town-to-town rivalries and semipro clubs, and finally up through the establishment of the professional, and eventually major league, sport"--Provided by publisher.
