Help with baseball books

Playing the game is a first, I believe, although there is a Grosset and Dunlap reprint I think it is a different dust jacket. Again, the dust jacket is pretty scarce and makes the book better, 200 and up full retail.
The Clarke and Dawson is a first, there were many other editions. Not as collected as history books, but still interesting. There is a dust jacket which seems to be missing, still can be found for about 20 dollars and up. I think Clarke was Moe Berg's coach at Princeton. This was the first in a series of books with this title, subsequent editions authored by Coombs, Littweiler and probably others, with expected changes in strategy etc.

I have with dust jackets the series of these which dealt with a number of sports. The Ice Hockey title seems to be the hardest to find in dust jacket, and commends more attention and a higher price, simply because of the lack of early hockey titles.

Max, very nice. Also nice to hear from you. I was answering only as a fill in for you. Almost started a book related thread to see if anyone was still around.

Don't know if you're on Facebook, but Tom Zocco and I administer the Baseball Book Group there with about 6000 members. It's fairly active and civil, and is clearly focused on modern books, and (gasp) people reading these books; however, there are a number of older book postings from time to time.
