A Tale of Two Leagues
How Baseball Changed as the Rules, Ball, Franchises, Stadiums and Players Changed, 1900-1998
Change, even radical change, is nothing new to baseball. Arguing that self-alteration is perhaps the national pastime's truest tradition, Russell O. Wright shows that it is customary for management to change not only the rules, but the ball, the franchises, and the stadiums. The author considers the key rule changes, franchise moves, ball modifications, and variations in the player pool, and traces the effects each of these had on the game's statistics.
