A League of His Own: A. G. Spalding and the Business of Baseball
A League of His Own tells the remarkable story of Albert Goodwill Spalding—the 19th century pitcher, mogul, and visionary who co-founded the National League, shaped professional baseball, and made a fortune by dominating the sporting goods industry.
Veteran journalist and gifted storyteller Mark Stein has been a reporter at the LA Times and an editor at the New York Times and Bloomberg News in London. Journalist and author Kostya Kennedy is best known for his books about sports, including the biographies of Jackie Robinson and Pete Rose.
"All baseball fans should read this book."—Mark Kurlansky, NY Times bestselling author
