Hardy yields another masterpiece
Hardy once again proves his strength in combining historical facts with Tolstoy-like prose. An absolutely terrific, scholarly approach to the beginnings of baseball in America and New York. This book will be of great interest to those baseball history buffs as well as to modern theologians. It was once said that America's greatest theologians are sports and comic...

Dull, duller, dullest
A deadly dry Ph.D thesis which attempts to marry a dull account of an exciting team with various analogies to developments in 19th century American history. Good photos though.

Hardy once again proves his strength in combining historical facts with Tolstoy-like prose. An absolutely terrific, scholarly approach to the beginnings of baseball in America and New York. This book will be of great interest to those baseball history buffs as well as to modern theologians. It was once said that America's greatest theologians are sports and comic writers. That quip certainly applies to Dr. Hardy. This book has much historical, literary, and religious value. Very highly recommended.
