A Game of Inches : The Stories Behind the Innovations That Shaped Baseball: The Game on the Field (Hardcover)

from Nestus_Gurley

Peter Morris is quickly establishing himself as the next big thing in baseball-research circles. This book and its companion volume are two big reasons why. Concise write-ups, in-text documentation, and the author's unimpeachable good sense are all worth noting.
