{"product_id":"stamford-sports-stamford-historical-society-9781531666163","title":"Stamford Sports","description":"At the turn of the 20th century, Stamford was fast becoming an industrial powerhouse, quickly earning its nickname of \"The City That Works.\" As manufacturing boomed and drew thousands of immigrants to the city, sports clubs formed at an equally rapid pace. Stamford's large and thriving industrial league provided a means for those working six-day weeks to let off steam productively and enjoyably. Stamford Sports covers the history of sports in Stamford from its earliest baseball and basketball teams in the 1890s through the burgeoning of sports of all types for everyone, brought on by the passage of Title IX in the 1970s.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Stamford Historical Society\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1531666167\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781531666163\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 04\/08\/2013\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":"Stamford Historical Society","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44540581544191,"sku":"9781531666163","price":31.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_28b9a87c-f255-4667-842a-a58208850991.jpg?v=1700588708","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/stamford-sports-stamford-historical-society-9781531666163","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
