Forget that you ever heard the name Abner Doubleday. In this new book from America s most important baseball historian, the myth of that Army general s role in creating baseball is forever shattered. Instead, Thorn fills readers in on the real story of how a game played by kids with bats and balls became a sport played and loved by millions, in the United States and around the world. Be the first kid on your baseball team to know why your shortstop should thank Doc Adams, why your hitters should remember Louis Wadsworth, and why the umpires tip their caps to William Wheaton. Meet unsung heroes like these and more . . . in FIRST PITCH! Every baseball game starts with the first pitch. But who threw the first pitch . . . ever? That s the question that historian John Thorn tries to answer in this amazing tour of the earliest days of our National Pastime. Using detective work, tons of research, and a deep love of the game, Thorn takes readers back in time to meet some people who had a huge impact on the game that millions play and love today. Readers will find out that much of what many people think about early baseball is wrong . . . and Thorn will put you on the right basepath to finding out what the real story is. (Hint: Gen. Doubleday had nothing to do with it!) Make FIRST PITCH the first baseball book you read this summer!
