In its infancy, major league baseball was anyone's game, open to a dizzying array of rogues and scamps, athletic giants and captains of industry, hustlers, managers, and umpires who transformed club-based teams into the first professional federations with formalized rules. This two-volume work--with its profiles of every key contributor to the major league game from May 4, 1871, through December 31, 1900--is truly "inside baseball".
