This is a colourful tour of baseball's history, celebrated and illustrated in American folk art and collectables. From pick-up games played by children, Civil War soldiers, firemen and college students to the formation of the first professional leagues, this is a democratic look at the sport illustrated with early baseball cards, paintings, quilts, signs, carved bats and more. The great players are here, too, depicted by the fans who loved them.
