There is absolutely no evidence that Abner Doubleday invented the American game of baseball. Early American settlers played a game they brought with them from England, a game called rounders, a form of cricket. Eventually, the formal rules were altered to embrace a simple and faster game in America referred to as Town Ball. The game we now know as baseball evolved from this adaptation and quickly was accepted as a new sport among urban area residents.

Moody Riley knocks around the major leagues as a solid but mediocre player for more than twenty years.

Story
Baseball is “the New York game” because the city is where the white lines were first drawn, where a bunt was first laid, and where the curve ball was first thrown. It’s also where the superstars first emerged, and where social progress in the sport was first made. With nuance and depth, historian Kevin Baker brings this all back to life: the games–World Series in 1905, 1919, 1932; the players–Babe Ruth, Joe DiMaggio, Lou Gehrig; the coaches and managers–John McGraw, “Foxy Ned” Hanlon, Clark Griffith; and even the writers, reporters, and spectators.
