This book celebrates one of America`s few longstanding and fully intact traditions. Beginning with its humble, early-19th century origins, it chronicles the game`s history including its meteoric rise as the national pastime, subsequent commercialization, scandal and adaptation that has led to the nationwide revival of the 19th century game. The book discusses today`s proud yet unheralded community of vintage ballists (players), who nobly carry on the game of their ancestors. Inside its pages are a compendium of historical research balanced by interviews with today`s vintage clubs including St. Louis` Lafayette Square Cyclone, Upstate New York`s Mountain Athletic Club, Columbus` Ohio Village Muffins and Lady Diamonds, Arizona`s Fort Verde Excelsiors, Akron`s Black Stockings and Washington State`s Whatcom Aces. Vintage Base Ball`s Enduring Legacy also offers dozens of photographs, rules, a lexicon, and is a must read for historians, nostalgists and fans alike.

"Here is a real corker and a fitting tribute to the thriving vintage base ball community!" -- Peter Morris, baseball books author
