ONCE UPON A DIAMOND 2001 from The New York Public Library and The Idea Logical Company . A Baseball Wall Calendar . 12x12 . 24 pages . 50 color and black-and-white illustrations
During the first two decades of the 20th century, baseball came of age as America's true national pastime. The American League was born, modern stadiums were built, the first stars of the major leagues -- such as Ty Cobb, Cy Young, Honus Wagner, and Walter Johnson -- emerged, as did pre-Negro-League stars Rube Foster, John Henry Lloyd, and Oscar Charleston. ONCE UPON A DIAMOND 2001 features unique photographs and rare tobacco cards from the rare manuscripts collections of The New York Public Library and substantial, authoritative baseball history and trivia from The Idea Logical Company.
