{"product_id":"base-ball-henry-chadwick-9781940072067","title":"Base-Ball: How to Become a Player: With the Origin, History, and Explanation of the Game","description":"HEARKEN back to a time before sports equipment, when \"ballists\" snagged grounders and fly balls with their bare hands, and when the pitcher's mound was only thirty-five feet from home \"base.\" After 150 years, baseball continues to represent the best of the American spirit. As our nation split in a Civil War, sportsmanship, athleticism, respect for the rules of the game-all earmarks of the sport we call baseball-took on new meaning as young men gathered in grassy meadows to play the game we call America's pastime. RPress Books is pleased to publish this first in a collection of classic base ball (base-ball) literature. In addition to \"Base-Ball: How to Become a Player, \" by John Montgomery Ward and Henry Chadwick's \"Beadle's Dime Base Ball Player,\" the reader will also find in this publication a short story titled \"The Redheaded Outfield\" published in 1915 by renowned author Zane Grey, and a first chapter excerpt from \"I Love Base Ball,\" a new, original story from the 2013 RPress Books \"Batter Up\" series. Also included are short biographies of authors Ward, Chadwick, and Grey.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Henry Chadwick, Zane Grey, John L.
