    The Numbers Game: Baseball's Lifelong Fascination With Statistics
      The Numbers Game: Baseball's Lifelong Fascination With Statistics.

      Most Baseball Fans, Players And Even Team Executives Assume That The National Pastime's Infatuation With Statistics Is Simply A By-product Of The Information Age, A Phenomenon That Blossomed Only After The Arrival Of Bill James And Computers In The 1980s. They Couldn't Be More Wrong. In This Award-winning Book, Alan Schwarz - Whom Bestselling" Moneyball "author Michael Lewis Calls "one Of Today's Best Baseball Journalists" - Provides The First-ever History Of Baseball Statistics, Showing How Baseball And Its Numbers Have Been Inseparable Ever Since The Pastime's Birth In 1845. He Tells The History Of This Obsession Through The Lives Of The People Who Felt It Most: Henry Chadwick, The 19th-century Writer Who Invented The First Box Score And Harped Endlessly About Which Statistics Mattered And Which Did Not; Allan Roth, Branch Rickey's Right-hand Numbers Man With The Late-1940s Brooklyn Dodgers; Earnshaw Cook, A Scientist And Manhattan Project Veteran Who Retired To Pursue Inventing The Perfect Baseball Statistic; John Dewan, A Former Strat-o-matic Maven Who Built Stats Inc. Into A Multimillion-dollar Powerhouse For Statistics Over The Internet; And Dozens More. Schwarz Paints A History Not Just Of Baseball Statistics, But Of The Soul Of The Sport Itself. Named As Espn's 2004 Baseball Book Of The Year, "the Numbers Game" Will Be An Invaluable Part Of Any Fan's Library And Go Down As One Of The Sport's Classic Books.

    Baseball In Blue And Gray: The National Pastime During The Civil War
      Baseball In Blue And Gray: The National Pastime During The Civil War.

      During The Civil War, Americans From Homefront To Battlefront Played Baseball As Never Before. While Soldiers Slaughtered Each Other Over The Country's Fate, Players And Fans Struggled Over The Form Of The National Pastime. George Kirsch Gives Us A Color Commentary Of The Growth And Transformation Of Baseball During The Civil War. He Shows That The Agme Was A Vital Part Of The Lives Of Many A Soldier And Civilian-and That Baseball's Popularity Had Everything To Do With Surging American Nationalism. By 1860, Baseball Was Poised To Emerge As The American Sport. Clubs In Northeastern And A Few Southern Cities Played Various Forms Of The Game. Newspapers Published Statistics, And Governing Bodies Set Rules. But The Civil War Years Proved Crucial In Securing The Game's Place In The American Heart. Soldiers With Bats In Their Rucksacks Spread Baseball To Training Camps, War Prisons, And Even Front Lines. As Nationalist Fervor Heig Htened, Baseball Became Patriotic. Fans Honoredd It With The Title Of National Pastime. War Metaphors Were Commlnplace In Sports Reporting, And Charity Games Were Scheduled. Decades Later, Union General Abner Doubleday Would Be Credited (wrongly) With Baseball's Invention. The Civil War Period Also Saw Key Developments In The Sport Itself, Including The Spread Of The New York-style Of Play, The Advent Ofr Evised Pitching Rules, And The Growth Of Commercialism. Kirsch Recounts Vivid Stories Of Great Players And Describes Soldiers Playing Ball To Relieve Boredom. He Introduces Entrepreneurs Who Preached The Gospel Of Baseball, Boosted Female Attendance, And Found New Ways To Make Money. We Witness Bitterly Contested Championships That Enthralled Whole Cities. We Watch African Americans Embracihg Baseball Despite Official Exclusion. And We See Legends Spring From The Pens Of Early Sportswriters. Rich With Anecdotes And Surprising Facts, This Narrative Of Baseball's Coming-of-age Reveals The Remarkable Extent To Which America's National Pastime Is Bound Up With The Country's Defining Event.
