The study of baseball history and culture shows the national pastime to be a forum of debate where issues of sport, labor, race, character and the ethics of work and play are decided. An understanding of baseball calls for consideration of different perspectives.

This very readable textbook offers insights into baseball history as a subject worthy of scholarly attention. Each chapter introduces a specific disciplinary approach--history, economics, media, law and fiction--and poses representative questions scholars from these fields would consider.

Arvustused

Well written, professional, reliable, excellent bibliographies. It is not surprising that a baseball book described as a textbook should appear under the label of McFarland, whose baseball list is unequaled. This is a useful volume for anyone who wishes to embark on a serious examination of what has developed into a serious academic field. RecommendedChoice.
