Level Playing Fields: How the Groundskeeping Murphy Brothers Shaped Baseball Reprint edition
Peter Morris
Sheds light on a usually unnoticed facet of the game, introducing fans and historians alike to the real fundamentals of baseball: dirt and grass. In this lively history, Peter Morris demonstrates that many of the game's rules and customs actually arose as concessions to the daunting practical difficulties of creating a baseball diamond.
