In Baseball in Baltimore: The First Hundred Years, Bready presents a vivid and compelling portrait of the players, the managers, the ballparks, and the games that shaped the history of the national pastime in one of America's oldest baseball towns. It was 1859 when the game of baseball came to Baltimore, as George F. Beam's Excelsiors played their first games at Flat Rock in Druid Hill Park. In the century that followed, Baltimore had franchises in eight different professional leagues and games were played in nine city parks from the Madison Avenue Grounds to Union Park, from old Oriole Park to Bugle Field. Bready also revisits the International League teams of the first half of the twentieth century. He also describes the teams Baltimore fielded in the old Negro leagues the Black Sox and Elite Giants whose patrons, in fairly intimate surroundings, saw some of the finest players the game has ever produced.
