🍎 The Redheaded Outfield & Other Baseball Stories by Zane Grey Vintage HC 1948

The Redheaded Outfield and Other Baseball Stories by Zane Grey Vintage Hardcover 1948 The Red-Headed Outfield is a collection of short stories about baseball as it was played in the last couple of decades of the 19th century and the early part of the 20th. They are actually fictionalized accounts of some of the adventures in baseball which Zane Grey found himself as he grew to adulthood in Ohio during the 1880s and 90s. Zane Grey played semi-pro ball for several seasons while living in New York. These stories are about how much the game was loved and appreciated back then, and how every boy growing up during this time worshipped the players. These get to the heart of the game as it was. The "characters" who played and influenced the game, and the adventures and hi-jinx that prevailed; yet told as only Zane Grey could tell them. See and read the early work of a master as he writes about what he loves. These books for boys are not just for boys, but for anyone who loves a story about growing up. Hardcover, 238 pages.
