Foreword by George F. Will
With a new Preface by Carla Hayden, Librarian of Congress
A lavishly illustrated history of America's game, from the unparalleled collections of the Library of Congress.
One of the most seductively designed books about the sport to come our way. ... A book like this, so rich and deep in material. ... brings baseball history to multifaceted life and reminds us that baseball is the sport that celebrates its history more than any other. ... This book itself is a form of time-travelinga pleasurable, often surprising and aesthetic trip.San Diego Union-Tribune

Now Baseball Americana presents the best of the best from that treasure trove. From baseball's biggest stars to street urchins, from its most newsworthy stories to sandlot and Little League games, the book examines baseball's hardscrabble origins, rich cultural heritage, and uniquely American character.

Packed with images that will surprise and thrill even the most expert collector, Baseball Americana is a gift for every baseball fan.
