Touching Base: Professional Baseball and American Culture in the Progressive Era (Sport & Society) (Sport and Society) Book

"Touching Base" examines the myths as well as the realities, symbols, and rituals of "America's favorite pastime."

Focusing on Atlanta, New York, and Chicago, Riess analyzes the spectators, owners, and players to evaluate how baseball both influenced and mirrored broader society.Read More
