The Book of Baseball (Original) 1911
MOVED TO EBAY MOVED TO EBAY
I have had this book for quite some time. It has been a wonderful reference and overall a very informative book that gives insight into the 1911 season. Like a beater (card) it still holds value. Obviously the book is in poor shape but it does not detract from being able to read it or enjoy the pictures. Please note the spine has separated and 158 of 159 pages are present. Last page missing. $135 shipped JUST POST SOLD IF YOU WANT IT. COPIED INFORMATION BELOW FROM THE INTERNET. Size: Folio - over 12" - 15" tall. A great early baseball book that traces the origins of the game through the 1911 season. This 159 page book contains 130+ illustrations. Original color illustrated paper over boards with burgundy cloth spine, cover illustration of a batter and catcher. Contents include the early days of the game, the National League, the American League and earlier rivals of the Nationals, the 1910 season, the art of pitching, star plays and players, troubles of umpires, the minor leagues and much more. There are team photos, ballpark photos, game action photos, and photos of individual players including Ty Cobb, Cy Young, Joe Jackson, Christy Mathewson, John McGraw, Walter Johnson, and Connie Mack. Interestingly, this book does not credit Abner Doubleday with creating the modern game of baseball. Last edited by Matt E.; 12-07-2010 at 09:21 PM. |
