1888 "How to Become a Player" by John Montgomery Ward
One of the classic 19th century baseball books written by baseball legend John Montgomery Ward. Intelligent, well educated, and dynamic, Ward organized the first major-league players union in 1885 and was a tireless advocate for players rights. But first and foremost, Ward is remembered as the driving force behind the employee-controlled Players League, the audacious but short-lived challenger to the preeminence of the National League and American Association. Book is totally complete and shows well with some virtually undetectable cover restoration.
