A Game of Brawl: The Orioles, the Beaneaters, and the Battle for the 1897 Pennant
Bill Felber
Not only was it probably the most cutthroat pennant race in baseball history; it was also a struggle to define how baseball would be played. This book re-creates the rowdy, season-long 1897 battle between the Baltimore Orioles and the Boston Beaneaters. Bill Felber brings to life the most intensely watched team sporting event in the US’s history to that time.
