Now available in paperback, the fresh and fascinating (The Plain Dealer, Cleveland), splendid and brilliant (Philadelphia Daily News) history of the early game by the Official Historian of Major League Baseball.Who really invented baseball? Forget Abner Doubleday at Cooperstown and Alexander Cartwright. Meet Daniel Lucius Adams, William Rufus Wheaton, and other fascinating figures buried beneath the falsehoods that have accrued around baseballs origins. This is the true story of how organized baseball started, how gambling shaped the game from its earliest days, and how it became our national pastime and our national mirror.Baseball in the Garden of Eden draws on original research to tell how the game evolved from other batandball games and gradually supplanted them, how the New York game came to dominate other variants, and how gambling and secret professionalism promoted and plagued the game. From a religious societys plot to anoint Abner Doubleday as baseballs progenitor to a set of scoundrels and scandals far more pervasive than the Black Sox Fix of 1919, this entertaining book is full of surprises. Even the most expert baseball fan will learn something new with almost every page.
