(More customer reviews)LIVE ALL YOU CAN: ALEXANDER JOY CARTWRIGHT AND THE INVENTION OF MODERN BASEBALL makes a case for Cartwright as the real inventor of baseball, belaying the popular idea that Doubleday achieved this. Cartwright was an avid ballplayer and his personal papers serve witness to how he used elements from various ball games to form positions and laws governing modern-day baseball. He worked to promote baseball nation-wide, and his efforts are detailed in a blend of biography and baseball history perfect for any sports library.
