Baseball Rowdies Of The 19Th Century: Brawlers, Drinkers, Pranksters And Cheats In The Early Days Of The Major Leagues

During the 19th century, baseball was a game with few rules, many rowdy players and just one umpire. Dirty tricks were simply part of a winning strategy. Providing bios of dozens of players, managers, umpires and owners, this book chronicles some of the flamboyant, unruly and occasionally criminal behaviour of the baseball's early years.
