Strike Four: The Evolution of Baseball

作者:理查德·赫什伯格

Baseball began as a schoolyard game, brought to America by the colonists. It evolved rapidly over the second half of the nineteenth century, with innovations and rule changes continuing throughout the twentieth century and into the modern era. But why and how did these changes take place? Richard Hershberger examines the national pastime’s development, from the reasoning behind new rules and innovations to the consequences of these changes—both intended and unintended—that often led to a new round of modifications. Topics examined include the dropped third strike, 界外, 九局, 标记了, 击球和击球, 把游戏, 设备, 内野球规则, 还有更多.

The Forgotten History of African American Baseball

作者:劳伦斯·D. 霍根

一百年来, African Americans were barred from playing in the premier baseball leagues of the United States—where only Caucasians were allowed. Talented black 运动员 until the 1950s were largely limited to only playing in Negro leagues, or possibly playing against white teams in exhibition, 季后赛打, or barnstorming contests—if it was deemed profitable for the white hosts. 即便如此, the people and events of Jim Crow baseball had incredible beauty, 丰富, and quality of play and character. The deep significance of Negro baseball leagues in establishing the texture of American history is an experience that cannot be allowed to slip away and be forgotten. This book takes readers from the origins of African Americans playing the American game of baseball on southern plantations in the pre-Civil War era through Black baseball and America's long era of Jim Crow segregation to the significance of Black baseball within our modern-day, post-Civil Rights Movement perspective.

Baseball: A History of America’s Favorite Game

作者:乔治·维西

[This book] is a narrative of America’s can-do spirit, in which stalwart immigrants such as Henry Chadwick could transplant cricket and rounders into the fertile American culture and in which die-hard unionist baseballers such as Charles Comiskey and Connie Mack could eventually become the tightfisted avatars of the game’s big-money establishment. It’s a celebration of such underdogs as a rag-armed catcher turned owner named Branch Rickey and a sure-handed fielder named Curt Flood, both of whom flourished as true great men of history. 但最重要的是, Baseball is a testament to the unbreakable bond between our nation’s pastime and the fans, who’ve remained loyal through the fifty-year-long interdict on black 运动员, 黑袜队丑闻, 特许经营搬迁, and the use of performance-enhancing drugs by some major stars. 虔诚的, 好玩的, and filled with Vecsey’s charm, Baseball begs to be read in the span of a rain-delayed doubleheader, 非常令人愉快, like a favorite team’s championship run, 人们希望它永远不会结束.

We Are the Ship: The Story of Negro League Baseball

Written and illustrated by: Kadir Nelson

Featuring nearly fifty iconic oil paintings and a dramatic double-page fold-out, an award-winning narrative, a gorgeous design and rich backmatter, We Are the Ship is a sumptuous, oversize volume for all ages that no baseball fan should be without. Using an inviting first-person voice, Kadir Nelson shares the engaging story of Negro League baseball from its beginnings in the 1920s through its evolution, until after Jackie Robinson crossed over to the majors in 1947. The story of Negro League baseball is the story of gifted 运动员 and determined owners, of racial discrimination and international sportsmanship, of fortunes won and lost; of triumphs and defeats on and off the field. It is a perfect mirror for the social and political history of black America in the first half of the twentieth century. 但最重要的是, the story of the Negro Leagues is about hundreds of unsung heroes who overcame segregation, 仇恨, 可怕的条件, and low pay to do one thing they loved more than anything else in the world: play ball.

1954: The Year Willie Mays and the First Generation of Black Superstars Changed Major League Baseball Forever

作者:比尔·马登

1954, A triumphant season for black ballplayers and the country. Award-winning New York Times bestselling author Bill Madden delivers the first major book to fully examine the 1954 baseball season, drawn largely from exclusive recent interviews with the major players themselves, including Willie Mays and Larry Doby as well as New York baseball legends from that era: Yogi Berra and Whitey Ford of the Yankees, Monte Irvin of the Giants, and Carl Erskine of the Dodgers. 1954 transports readers across the baseball landscape of the time as future superstars such as Hank Aaron, 厄尼银行, and others entered the leagues and continued to integrate the sport. Weaving together the narrative of one of baseball's greatest seasons with the racially charged events of that year, the same in which the US Supreme Court unanimously ruled that segregation of the races be outlawed in America's public schools, 1954 demonstrates how our national pastime was actually ahead of the curve in terms of the acceptance of black Americans, while the nation at large continued to struggle with tolerance.

What Baseball Means to Me: A Celebration of Our National Pastime

Edited by: Curt Smith and the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum

For some people baseball means a memory-of a certain dusty ball field on a certain summer day, or the first time they walked into a major league park and saw the perfect emerald playing field. For some, baseball means one heartbreaking or heroic moment. 对其他人来说, 意思是父亲, 我的一个朋友, or an old flame who shared a game for a day or for a lifetime. To create this marvelous book, 150多位作家, 运动员, 名人, 政客们, 总统, and pundits were asked what baseball means to them. The answers came back with 丰富, wonder, insight, and poetry. A fascinating portrait of baseball's beautiful nuances, What Baseball means to me marks the greatest collection of original essays ever written about the game. Accompanied by more than 200 classic baseball photographs, the voices in this book bring alive the game in all its venues-in the past and present, in wartime and hard times, 在古巴, in Wrigley Field or Yankee Stadium.
