The subject of 'Baseball in Baltimore' is old-time baseball, much of it the minor-league variety, and it treats that subject with all the thoroughness and affection it deserves... [Bready] loves the good old days, and here he reminds us that they really were good... He knows his baseball history inside out, and writes about it with ardor... The definitive book on a subject of enduring allure. -- Jonathan Yardley Washington Post The author of this beautiful book, James Hall (Jim) Bready, not only know more than anyone alive about Baltimore baseball in the the last half of the 19th and the first half of the 20th centuries. He probably also know more than most people about the political, social, economic, popular, and general history of Maryland, including-speaking metaphorically and otherwise-warts and all, where the bodies are buried and some stories that have never been published and probably never will be. -- John Goodspeed Easton Star Democrat
