Late innings : a documentary history of baseball, 1945-1972
Third volume in Dean A. Sullivan's series on the history of baseball. Through 114 contemporary documents, Late innings examines everything from Jackie Robinson's ground-breaking assault on the color barrier to Roger Maris's run on the home run record to the first stirrings of labor-management unrest in the 1970s. Late innings also looks at exciting on-field activities, the antitrust controversy, issues of expansion, the effect of television on the game, and several other points of interest swirling around baseball in postwar America
