The Farmers' Game
David Vaught begins The Farmers' Game with two propositions. First, the search for the origins of baseball has “left the game with an identity crisis” (p. 3). Those who view it as a pastoral pastime (especially old-timers who think that Abner Doubleday invented baseball in 1839 in Cooperstown, New York) believe that baseball was born in the countryside. But historians dismiss the Doubleday-Cooperstown story as a creation myth and describe modern …

In his introduction to Past Time, Jules Tygiel states that this collection of essays is about American history and should not be mistaken for a book about baseball. His focus is not the game on the field, but rather the broader baseball experience: how fans received and processed their baseball information; how they witnessed the games; what baseball symbolized in different eras; and how each generation reinvented the national pastime to fit its …
