$29.99


While most serious fans know that the Deadball Era was characterized by low scoring, aggressive baserunning, and strong pitching, few understand the extent to which ballparks determined the style of play. As it turns out, the general absence of standardization and the ever-changing dimensions, configurations, and ground rules had a profound effect on the game, as offensive production would rise an…

Rickwood Field: A Century In America's Oldest Ballpark


Rickwood Field: A Century In America’s Oldest Ballpark


$16.59


While America has changed dramatically over the last hundred years, Rickwood Field, the pride of Birmingham, Alabama, has remained fixed in time. Best-selling baseball writer Allen Barra journeyed to his native Alabama to capture the glories of a century of baseball lore. In chronicling the history of Rickwood Field, where the manually operated scoreboard still uses numbers painted on metal sheets, Barra also tells of segregated baseball, the vaunted Negro Leagues, and captures the ghosts of the players themselves, including Ty Cobb, Babe Ruth, Satchel Paige, and Willie Mays. Evoking such classics as Shoeless Joe and The Boys of Summer , Barra recalls not only a simpler, bygone era but also a city rife with racial tension and abject poverty, where a tattered ballpark was, and still is, a rare beacon of hope. Indeed, Barra skillfully convinces us that the histories of Rickwood Field, baseball, and the American south are inextricably bound together. The extraordinary social history of Rickwood Field becomes the story of baseball itself, gloriously evoked for the centennial of America’s oldest ballpark.

Safe At Home: Confessions Of A Baseball Fanatic


Safe At Home: Confessions Of A Baseball Fanatic


$15.49


Alyssa Milano loves baseball. Currently she maintains a blog on MLB.com that is devoted to the game and she has done on field game commentary for TBS. An avid Dodgers fan, she has been a serious student of the game for her entire life.Through all the craziness of growing up a child star and making hit TV shows like Whos the Boss and Charmed, baseball has been her one constant. Her blog came about because last year she began to spread her love of the game from her living room to the public as she partnered with Major League Baseball to design a successful line of official MLB clothing for women. She started writing the blog as part of the promotion for the clothes and soon it was one of the most popular features on the site. Now Alyssa takes her passion for our national pastime to the page in her first ever book. Written to share her love of the game with everyone from diehard fanatics to the most casual followers, Alyssa tells the story of how baseball has shaped her life, explaining why she loves the game and why you should too. Combining stories from baseball history with stories from her own life, Alyssa offers personal anecdotes to delight even passing fans of the game, meditating on what it means to devote yourself to the greatest sport on earth. Covering everything from the subtleties of the rules to how baseball can recover the recent steroid scandals, Alyssa crafts a discussion that is both timeless and immediate, using fun and entertaining prose to extend her love of the game to each and every reader regardless of gender. Bringing an intelligent, witty, and humorously self-deprecating female voice to the male dominated world of baseball writing, Alyssa offers a womans perspective into why baseball is and forever will be Americas game. The end result is a unique and unexpected book that falls somewhere between a memoir, a manifesto, and a love letter to baseball.

The Card: Collectors  Con Men  And The True Story of History's Most Desi red Baseball Card


The Card: Collectors Con Men And The True Story of History’s Most Desi red Baseball Card


$18.29


How does something go from being a worthless scrap of paper to the multi-million dollar object of desire? Every field of collecting has its ultimate prize its summa discovery its Mona Lisa its Hope Diamond. Aficionados will search a lifetime for the crowning piece of a truly great collection some sparing no ethical or financial expense to aquire it. For the baseball card collectors its the 1909 T206 Honus Wagner. Since its limited release just after the turn of the century this Sweet Caporal ciagrette card identified as a rarity as early as the 1930s has beguiled and bedeviled collectors. (Apparently Wagner himself threatened to sue the company so they halted production after only a few hundred were printed.) As the decades unfolded the Wagner cards history mirrored baseball and Americas history its value riding as baseball cards and other collectibles rose in value. Through it all a T206 Wagner remained the Big Score as collectors logged in hundreds of hours on their quest. THE CARD will document some of the journeys folks have taken to recover this treasure. About 50 T206 Wagners have surfaced and even dog-eared examples top $100 000…and in the 1980s along came the legendary "Gretzky" T206 Wagner card-so named because The Great One supposedly once had it in his possesion. However the "Gretzky" card is of uncertain origin and questions in the trade persist as to the possibility of tampering. The authors stand a great chance of cracking this case wide open to reveal that perhaps the card will remain a ghost to even those who thought they once held in it their hands another mystery in the tale of The Card. THE CARD is a biography of the T206 Wagner as cultural icon as the hobby gained momentum from marginalized and juvenile and ultimately to big dollars and (possible) white-collar crime.

Flatland: A Romance In Many Dimensions


Flatland: A Romance In Many Dimensions


$8.89


Imagine a vast sheet of paper on which Lines, Triangles, Squares, Pentagons, Hexagons, and other figures, instead of remaining fixed in their places, move freely about, on or in the surface, but without the power of rising above or sinking below it and you will have a pretty correct notion of my country and countrymen." Narrated by A. Square, Flatland is Edwin A. Abbott’s delightful mathematical fantasy about life in a two-dimensional world. All existence is limited to length and breadth in Flatland, its inhabitants unable even to imagine a third dimension. Abbott’s amiable narrator provides an overview of this fantastic world-its physics and metaphysics, its history, customs, and religious beliefs. But when a strange visitor mysteriously appears and transports the incredulous Flatlander to the Land of Three Dimensions, his worldview is forever shattered. Written more than a century ago, Flatland conceals within its brilliant parody of Victorian society speculations about the universe that resonate in Einstein’s theory of relativity as well as the current "string-theory" of nature.Imagine a vast sheet of paper on which Lines, Triangles, Squares, Pentagons, Hexagons, and other figures, instead of remaining fixed in their places, move freely about, on or in the surface, but without the power of rising above or sinking below it and you will have a pretty correct notion of my country and countrymen."

Baseball: A History Of America's Favorite Game


Baseball: A History Of America’s Favorite Game


$9.29


Football is force and fanatics, basketball is beauty and bounce. Baseball is everything: action, grace, the seasons of our lives. George Vecsey’s book proves it, without wasting a word." -Lee Eisenberg, author of The Number In Baseball , one of the great bards of America’s Grand Old Game gives a rousing account of the sport, from its pre-Republic roots to the present day. George Vecsey casts a fresh eye on the game, illuminates its foibles and triumphs, and performs a marvelous feat: making a classic story seem refreshingly new. Baseball 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. But most of all, 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 athletes, the Black Sox scandal, franchise relocation, and the use of performance-enhancing drugs by some major stars. Reverent, playful, and filled with Vecsey’s charm, Baseball begs to be read in the span of a rain-delayed doubleheader, and so enjoyable that, like a favorite team’s championship run, one hopes it never ends. "Vecsey possesses a journalist’s eye for detail and a historian’s feel for the sweep of action. His research is scrupulous and his writing crisp. This book is an instant classic a highly readable guide to America’s great enduring pastime." The Louisville Courier Journal From the Hardcover edition.

Until the early 1950′s, “big league” ball was limited to sixteen teams playing in only ten cities – all but one east of the Mississippi River. For the rest of North America, in towns as large as Los Angeles and as small as Mineral Wells, Texas, Minor League baseball was the game.In 1901, seven minor leagues banded together to form the National Association of Professional Baseball Leagues. This umbrella group became the governing body of professional baseball, setting standards and guiding the Minors’ relationship with the Majors. At its peak in 1949, the NAPBL had 59 member leagues.The most important leagues throughout history have been the International League, based in the East, the American Association in the Midwest, The Pacific Coast League, The Texas League, and the Southern Association.

Hand-crafted from genuine wool baseball flannel. Each International League shirt is researched, and carefully re-created using the same materials and production techniques as the original. Lettering on most models is wool felt. Some of the more expensive models (for example our 1938 Baltimore Orioles shirt) feature manual chain-stitch embroidery. The design is directly embroidered into the garment to produce a brilliant effect.Sleeve patches were another important component of vintage jerseys. They often celebrated local events like World’s Fairs, or anniversaries like baseballs official centennial in 1939. During wartime, ball clubs would display patriotic shields, like the Stars & Stripes or Health patch. You will find all of these faithfully re-created here. This jersey has the Stars & Stripes patch.Jersey NumbersJersey prices include numerals, except where noted (most teams did not wear numbers prior to 1930.) We have chosen a standard number for all of our shirts, which is listed in the text for that model. Please note that many shirts are made to order, and take one to six weeks for delivery. All jerseys are crafted in the USA, using American materials.History of the Minor LeaguesThe story of professional baseball does not begin and end with the Major Leagues. Until the early 1950′s, “big league” ball was limited to sixteen teams playing in only ten cities – all but one east of the Mississippi River. For the rest of North America, in towns as large as Los Angeles and as small as Mineral Wells, Texas, Minor League baseball was the game.In 1901, seven minor leagues banded together to form the National Association of Professional Baseball Leagues. This umbrella group became the governing body of professional baseball, setting standards and guiding the Minors’ relationship with the Majors. At its peak in 1949, the NAPBL had 59 member leagues.The most important leagues throughout history have been the International League, based in the East, the American Association in the Midwest, The Pacific Coast League, The Texas

Taking the Field: A Fan's Quest to Run the Team He Loves


Taking the Field: A Fan’s Quest to Run the Team He Loves


$17.09


With 162 games a year, the playoffs, and an active offseason, baseball fans almost never stop thinking about their team. And Howard Megdal is no exception: a lifelong and feverish Mets fan, he has been there through thick and (more often) thin. And yet-year in and year out, the Mets seem to find ways to disappoint him. The almost-victories, the mistakes, the lost years: it’s all too heartbreaking. And so, mustering his energy, heart, and sportswriter’s pedigree, Megdal decided to do something about it. Like become the General Manager of the Mets. It’s not an elected office, but that doesn’t mean you can’t campaign to do it. One part baseball history and one part personal narrative, Taking the Field is at heart the story of a fan who decides to take control. Staging public rallies to gain support, and hustling for interviews and opportunities, Megdal rewrites the rules for being a fan: if you want a championship so badly, maybe it’s time for more than praying at the television and buying merchandise. Maybe it’s time for action. As he tells his half-crazy and half-inspiring story, Megdal intersperses the narrative with a history rooting for his team: the Tom Seaver trade, the Doc Gooden saga, the highs and lows, the mistakes, and the moments that made it worth the pain. At the same time, he learns the lessons of this history, outlining for the public his campaign pillars: logic, transparency, and passion. And he is determined to make his impact on the team. This book has the unstinting passion of A Fan’s Notes , the humor and business smarts of Moneyball , and the elbow-grease appeal of Julie and Julia . In the end, it’s a love letter to baseball, and a totem for every tormented fan who has ever felt like a part of the game.

Boston Red Sox Framed -Legends Of Left Field- 3-Photos with Medallion & Plates


$169.99


The Green Monster in left field of Boston’s Fenway Park is one of the most recognized icons in sports history. Many great players have played before the 37-foot wall- none better than Hall of Famers- Ted Williams and Carl Yastremski.  Ted Williams- known to many as ”The Splendid Splinter”- was one of baseball’s greatest hitters.  His accomplishments included a .406 batting average in 1941- two triple crowns- two MVPs- six American League batting championships- 521 Home Runs- a lifetime average of .344 and was selected to 17 All-Star Games.  As Ted Williams contemplated retirement- a young prospect emerged in the Boston system.  Carl Yastrzemski would succeed the great Ted Williams in Left Field- and carry on the Green Monster’s grand tradition.  ”Yaz” succeeded Ted Williams in 1961 and retired 23 years later as the all-time Red Sox leader in eight major categories.  A three time-batting champion- ”Yaz” was named the American League MVP in 1967 when he won the Triple Crown- batting .326 with 121 RBI and 44 home runs.  These two baseball icons patrolled Fenway Park’s left field for a combined 42 seasons.  This serial edition #1 collectible includes 3-8×10 photos- a Boston Red Sox team medallion and 3-laser engraved descriptive plates.  It comes triple matted in team colors and is framed in a black wooden frame. Measures 32 3/4” x 21 3/4”.
