In this story of professional baseball in the Alamo City from 1888 to the present, San Antonio ExpressNews sportswriter David King hits the highlights athletic and human that have filled the city's diamonds for 115 years. deciding to make San Antonio its home base instead; about San Antonio's first two black Texas League players, whose story was less dramatic but no less difficult than Jackie Robinson's; about Harry Ables, the freak of nature who holds the league's oldest singleseason record, 310 strikeouts in 1910; and about the longest scoreless game in professional baseball history, the 25inning duel against the Jackson Mets at V. J. Keefe Field in 1988. King not only tells the stories that have driven the nation's fascination with baseball but also gives box scores and baseball statistics.
