Paperback. Condition: Good. As befits a game traditionally passed from one generation to the next, baseball has always had a special reverence for origins.

Yet while countless thousands of words have been spilled on the subject of baseball firsts, there has been no definitive source for the settlement of disputes. Peter Morris's endlessly fascinating A Game of Inches has now arrived to fill the void. Impeccably researched and engagingly written, this treasure trove will surprise, delight, and educate even the most knowledgeable fan by dispelling cherished myths and revealing the source of many of baseball's features that we now take for granted. The scope of A Game of Inches is encyclopedic, with nearly a thousand entries that illuminate the origins of items ranging from catchers' masks to hook slides to intentional walks to cork-center baseballs. But this is much more than just a reference guide.

Of few books can it genuinely be said that once you start reading, it's hard to put it down--but A Game of Inches is one of them.
