1888 (How To Become A Player) Base-Ball by John Montgomery Ward
The man who led the formation of the first professional sports players union and a new baseball league, John Montgomery (Monty) Ward penned this rare but seminal book on the game at which he excelled. The Hall of Fame pitcher, shortstop and manager tossed a perfect game in 1880 and believed his 1888 primer on the game was most genuine since it was written by someone who had actually played the sport. This edition displays VG-EX overall and is 100% complete in its beautiful slipcase.
