Outside the Lines of Gilded Age Baseball: Alcohol, Fitness, and Cheating in 1880s Baseball - Softcover
Book 1 of 4: Outside the Lines of Gilded Age Baseball
Synopsis
Beer played a decisive role in baseball in the 1880s. When teams signed new players they asked two questions. Can he play? Is he sober?
You love baseball and take pride in your knowledge of the game. But if you’re like many fans, you know almost nothing about baseball in the 1800s.
The Outside the Lines of Gilded Age Baseball series illuminates all aspects of baseball’s most colorful decade. Rob Bauer will show you how beer, methods of keeping fit, and cheating played a critical role in baseball in the 1880s. He is a member of the Society of American Baseball Research’s 19th Century Baseball Research Committee. Bauer has also presented research at the Baseball Hall of Fame.
Whether it’s bringing a keg of beer to the ballpark, treating sore arms with a branding iron, or fighting on the field, this book has the stories of 1880s baseball. Some are funny, others tragic, but they reveal what baseball was like in its early years.
