Format:Hardcover
"Where They Ain't" manages at once to be a fascinating book about baseball, an acute historical account of a fascinating era, and a remarkably apt parable for our own times. A must read for baseball fans, but also a serious and thought-provoking volume for any serious reader.
Format:Hardcover
Being an Oriole fan for many years, I was attracted to this book by it's title, but I got much more than I expected. This book is chock full of baseball history regarding the early years of what is now considered "modern baseball". Stories about the early Brooklyn Trolley Dodgers, Wee Willie Keeler, and John McGraw make this a must read for any true baseball fan.
Format:Hardcover
This book was a masterful description of baseball's most notorious era. I bought the book, hoping to learn more about the Old Orioles, a legendary team. And I got more than I bargained for. I was thrust into a world of "Syndicate Baseball," where fans and players were ignored and the personal vendettas of the owners dictated the circumstances under which baseball would exist. I would highly recommend this book for any one interested in US history or merely in the history of baseball. Disclaimer- I am a devout Orioles fan and a native of Baltimore City.

This book makes the past come alive!
When reading this book, I felt like I stepped out of this century, away from cellular phones and televisions, into a time when horses were the preferred method of transport. Read more
