Summary:
This interesting and readable book provides a history of baseball in the U.S. Lots of fascinating anecdotes are included, photos of baseball stars [past and present] are included, and several chapters focus on the strategies of the game.

Teaching Ideas:
Sports lovers will probably just want to read the book. Other trade books about baseball players (e.g., Babe Ruth, Jackie Robinson) could be added to this volume. Most nonfiction teaching strategies will work well. Learners may wish to explore some of the "hidden" aspects of the game, e.g., economics, changing rules or using "lively balls."
