1. We just got in a bunch of baseball books:
Take Me Out to the Ballpark, an Illustrated Tour of Baseball Parks Past and Present-
Take a look at this 128 page circular shaped (weird, eh?) oversized hardcover filled with pictures, facts and lore of 48 major league, minor league and negro league ballparks.
First came "round ball", then codified rules in the 1840s with games played at Madison Square Garden. Pushed out to the country, the first regular ball game was in Hoboken. The home team, the Knickerbockers, lost 23 to 1, but people still loved watching it. In 1858 someone got the idea that people might even pay to watch a game, but there was the problem of how to keep out the nonpayers... And so the first enclosed ballpark was built. Do you want to know more? Then for only $5 buy this book located in the baseball section.
