There were no gloves, no protective gear for the catchers, the pitchers threw underhanded, and the game was over when one team scored 21 runs. Spanning the years 1859 to 1901, this volume presents a detailed study of the history of baseball in Milwaukee. In addition to coverage of the major league teams that played in the city, there is also an extensive history of the many minor league and amateur league teams. Also included are photographs and illustrations of owners, players and teams as well as statistics on Milwaukee players and teams of the era.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Dennis Pajot\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0786439513\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780786439515\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e McFarland \u0026amp; Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/01\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 362\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.90h x 6.90w x 1.10d","brand":"Dennis Pajot","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48086854402303,"sku":"9780786439515","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_02a7c00e-4909-4224-9fd9-f8c07d74d754.jpg?v=1769096965","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-rise-of-milwaukee-baseball-dennis-pajot-9780786439515","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
