“This book is truly great. For those who are older, if you remember the Ken Burns book, Baseball: An Illustrated History, it’s very much like that, and in some ways, even better.” —Sean Holtz, owner of Baseball Almanac
“An inherently fascinating and impressively informative sports history, Baseball and America is especially and unreservedly recommended for personal, community, college and university library collections.” —Midwest Book Review
