Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
Since baseball's current National League succeeded the National Association in 1876, only one other league has stood the test of time. Pietrusza, a building space analyst and member of the Society for American Baseball Research, details the rise of both the National and American leagues. He also covers the failures of such leagues as the Players', Federal, Mexican, and the recent Global. David Q. Voigt's three-volume work ( American Baseball: From Gentleman's Sport to the Commissioner System , LJ 7/66; American Baseball: From the Commissioners to Continental Expansion , Univ. of Oklahoma, 1969; American Baseball: From Post war Expansion to the Electronic Age , Pennsylvania State Univ. Pr., 1983) and Harold Seymour's three-volume study ( Baseball: The Early Years, LJ 11/1/60; Baseball: The Golden Age , Oxford Univ. Pr., 1971; Baseball: The People's Game , LJ 7/90) remain the premier works. This well-researched and heavily illustrated book is a worthy, if pricey, shelf-mate appropriate for larger sports collections.
