{"product_id":"baseball-in-hot-springs-mark-blaeuer-9781531697846","title":"Baseball in Hot Springs","description":"Hot Springs, Arkansas, with its thermal water baths, attracted its first big-league outfit when the National League champion Chicago White Stockings traveled south for spring training in 1886. The baseball colony grew as dozens of other clubs followed. Individual players flocked here as well to hike, golf, and \"boil out\" in bathhouse steam cabinets prior to leaving for training camps elsewhere. Nearly half of Cooperstown's Hall of Famers made the pilgrimage to this baseball mecca. Major- and minor-league aggregations, legendary teams, players of the Negro Leagues, and baseball schools for budding players and umpires all come to bat in Images of Sports: Baseball in Hot Springs.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mark Blaeuer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1531697844\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781531697846\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Arcadia Publishing Library Editions\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/28\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 130\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.91lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.61h x 6.69w x 0.38d","brand":"Mark Blaeuer","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43989991653631,"sku":"9781531697846","price":31.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_09efd29b-5758-4e26-b786-a2a14c633776.jpg?v=1683302450","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/baseball-in-hot-springs-mark-blaeuer-9781531697846","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
