Organized chronologically, beginning with a rare illustration depicting an early predecessor to the modern game of baseball on a 14th-century Flemish "Book of Hours" manuscript, The History of Baseball in 100 Objects is a visual and historical record of the game as told through essential documents, letters, and photographs, equipment, memorabilia, food and drink, merchandise and media items, and relics of popular culture, each of which has had a major impact on the history and evolution of the game. Objects include the original ordinance banning baseball in Pittsfield, MA, in 1791 (the earliest known reference to the game in America); the "By-laws and Rules of the Knickerbocker Base Ball Club," 1845 (first codified rules of the game); Fred Thayer's catcher's mask from the 1870s (the first use of this equipment in the game); a scorecard from the 1903 World Series (the first world series); Grantland Rice's typewriter (the role of sportswriters in making baseball the National Pastime); Babe Ruth's bat, circa 1927 (the emergence of the long ball); Pittsburgh Crawford's team bus, 1935 (the Negro Leagues); Jackie Robinson's Montreal Royals uniform, 1946 (the breaking of the color barrier); ticket stub from the 1951 Giants-Dodgers playoff game and Bobby Thomson's "Shot Heard 'Round The World" (one of baseball's iconic moments); Sandy Koufax's Cy Young Award, 1963 (the era of dominant pitchers); "Reggie!" candy bar, 1978 (the modern player as media star); Rickey Henderson's shoes, 1982 (baseball's all-time greatest base-stealer); original architect's drawing for Oriole Park at Camden Yards (the ballpark renaissance of the 1990s); and Barry Bond's record-breaking bat (the age of PEDs). Each full-page photograph of the object is accompanied by lively text that describes the object itself (always fascinating in its own right), the historical significance of the object and its connection to the moment in baseball's history it represents, and additional stories and information about that particular period in the history of the game.
