Digs into the roots of baseball in and around Cleveland, starting in the 1840's and closing with the end of the century in 1900. This book also contains a story of baseball on the Western Reserve, from its infancy as an amateur game through its growth into a professional sport.

Cleveland and the surrounding area was home to one of the earliest and most active baseball scenes outside of the eastern seaboard. This extraordinarily detailed history combines author commentary with first-hand accounts to document baseball''s rapid development and popularization in the region during the decades following the Civil War. Ordered chronologically and then geographically by town, chapters follow the game''s rise from the earliest reports on ball in 1841, to the era of loosely organized, town-to-town rivalries and semipro clubs, and finally through the early era of the professional, and eventually major league, sport.
