Synopsis
On May 4, 1871, Bobby Mathews pitching for the Kekiongas of Fort Wayne, Indiana, faced James Deacon White, the catcher for Forest City of Cleveland. On the pitch, White laced a double into right field at Fort Wayne s Hamilton Field. Thus was the beginning of the National Association, baseball s first professional league. This is a history of a loose alliance of mostly hard-drinking, undisciplined players, and driven, sometimes irascible, owners. It is the story of the Wright brothers (George and Harry) who brought fundamentals to the game that are still used, and players such as Albert Spalding who won 207 games during the league s existence. The appendix provides season by season batting averages and pitching records for each team, as well as the Association s all-time leaders in batting average, pitching wins, and hits.

All of the items were just as described in their write-ups and in better than expected condition given the age of all of them. Excellent value and quality and appearance is excellent of all the items. Also, sellers were super easy to work with and because I bought three separate items, they lowered the total shipping costs for me. Thanks again, R&M Thrift and Collectibles!!!

Lovely tray in excellent condition, thrilled with it. Already hanging in my kitchen and matches pine cupboard and other cabinets perfectly. I stayed at the Christian Brothers retreat house and this brings back happy memories. Cost and shipping more than reasonable and arrived sooner than expected. A fine bargain and all around fabulous service. Many thanks!
