When baseball teams began competing in Milwaukee in the 1860s the game, though still recognizably baseball, had some peculiar rules. There were no protective gear for the catchers, the pitchers threw underhanded, and the game was over when one team scored 21 runs. This book presents a detailed study of the history of baseball in Milwaukee.
