O knihe

The early years of organized baseball (1855-1884) in Brooklyn when it was the center of the baseball universe is the focus of this book, which discusses the early clubs and players and examines the transformation of baseball from a gentlemen's club recreation to a professional spectator sport.

The social norms, gender and race relations, and the role of the media in the early game are covered as are the many firsts attributed to early Brooklyn teams, such as having the first paid player, tragic hero and curveball pitcher, and being the first team to take road trips, play in enclosed ball parks and charge admission. Notably, they were heralded by the most famed sports journalist of the nineteenth century.
