About this title

Synopsis

John Montgomery Ward (1860-1925) tossed the second perfect game in major league history and later became the game's best shortstop and a great, inventive manager. He led the players into their own league in 1890 and came within a hair's breadth of changing the structure of baseball forever.

Baseball: How to Become a Player is one of the game's early classics, and should be in every serious baseball library.
