Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Small archive of material related to the short-lived American Baseball Academy founded in New York City by Malcolm Child and Phil Rizzuto in 1951. Child was apparently a bit of a hustler, and pitched the concept as part of a program to combat juvenile delinquency in Manhattan.
