  Now
available in paperback, Harold Seymour and Dorothy Seymour Mills' Baseball: The Early Years recounts the true story of
how baseball came into being and how it developed into a highly organized business and social institution.
  

 The Early Years, traces the growth of baseball from the time of the first recorded ball game at Valley Forge during the
revolution until the formation of the two present-day major leagues in 1903. By investigating previously unknown
sources, the book uncovers the real story of how baseball evolved from a gentleman's amateur sport of "well-bred play
followed by well-laden banquet tables" into a professional sport where big leagues operate under their own laws.
Offering countless anecdotes and a wealth of new information, the authors explode many cherished myths, including the
one which claims that Abner Doubleday "invented" baseball in 1839. They describe the influence of baseball on American
business, manners, morals, social institutions, and even show business, as well as depicting the types of men who became
the first professional ball players, club owners, and managers, including Spalding, McGraw, Comiskey, and Connie
Mack.
  
  Note: On August 2, 2010, Oxford University Press made public that it would credit Dorothy Seymour
Mills as co-author of the three baseball histories previously "authored" solely by her late husband, Harold Seymour. The
Seymours collaborated on Baseball: The Early Years (1960), Baseball: The Golden Age (1971) and Baseball: The People's
Game (1991).

  The archetype for any publication about baseball history.
  By Kenneth L.
Lipshez on September 22, 1997
  Aside from the most comprehensive view of early baseball, Harold Seymour
provides incredible insight as he takes the reader through every vital detail about the game's heritage. For a book
written 40 years ago, it shows the author's masterful foresight of what baseball would, and did, become. Particularly
compelling is how he shreds the Abner Doubleday myth before doing so was popular. His compilation and timeless analyses
of baseball's sometimes painful adolescence gives the reader a solid baseline for understanding the difficulties that
the sport is enduring today. It's fascinating proof that those who ignore history are condemned to repeat it. Anybody
interested in baseball history will want to run right out and get his second volume, "The Golden Age" as soon as they
finish this one
  
  Just what I was looking for
  By Todd Thompson on September 14, 2013
  This is not about baseball games or the competition of players on the field. Instead, it is great overview, with
juicy details, about the coming of baseball in post-Civil War America and its early development as a business. In it, a
thorough account is given of the struggles in the establishment of the National League, player procurement, the
monopolization of the sport, and its eventual arrival on the scene as America's greatest pastime. It is good history,
and it offers numerous launching points for further study of the 19th century.
