Product Description

Product Description

Many are aware that baseball's European ancestry stretches back centuries, but few realize just how extensive the modern game's history is on the Continent and British Isles. Baseball as we recognize it has been played there since the 1870s, and in several countries the players and devoted followers have included royalty, Hall of Famers from the U.S. major leagues, and captains of industry.Organized by country, this heavily researched book delves into the history of baseball in 40 nations, describing not only the efforts to spread the game but also the culture of baseball unique to Europe. The appendices cover topics from major leaguers who have played in European domestic leagues to a glossary of baseball terms in seven European languages.

5.0 out of 5 stars fantastic read for baseball fans , 29 Aug 2008
By M. Dowling - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
If you are a fan of this wonderful game of baseball then I suggest you read this book . Very well written in an informative way that keeps you wanting to read on and on . Once I picked the book up I found myself in a whole new world of fascinating facts and little stories about european baseball . I have learnt alot reading this book . Not only is baseball a universal sport played all across the world but it has its roots in europe far beyond anything I could have imagined .
I really enjoyed this book , I liked the style of writing and I am certainly looking forward to any future books from this author .This book is obviously written by a person passionate about baseball and for this reason if you love baseball you will love this book .
