Publisher Notes
This biography of a John Montgomery Ward, who played baseball in the late 1800s--and led the first successful players' revolt against team owners--is also the story of an America filled with the exuberance of change and contention. 16 pages of photos.
Media Reviews
"More than a biography, A CLEVER BASE-BALLIST is a social history of a slice of late-19th-century America, when the idea of professional athletes, 'nonlocal mercenaries,' was new, and baseball's corporate energy went into sanitizing its image."
