Default I need a good book on pre 1958 baseball in CA
Posted By: Bruce Babcock

A book came out this year called "The Golden Game, The Story of California Baseball," by Kevin Nelson. Paperback, 379 pgs. (ISBN 1-890771-80-5) California Historical Society Press & Heyday Books www.heydaybooks.com

31 chapters, but 1958 is not reached until Chapter 27. Contains some great photos and even a few pics of baseball cards. It begins with the 49ers who brought base ball to California during the gold rush. I'm only about one third of the way through it, but I recommend it.
