Book Description
Baseball scorekeeping is the practice of recording the details of a baseball game as it unfolds. Professional baseball leagues hire official scorers to keep an official record of each game (from which a box score can be generated), but many fans keep score as well for their own enjoyment. Scorekeeping is usually done on a printed scorecard and, while official scorers must adhere precisely to one of the few different scorekeeping notations, most fans exercise some amount of creativity and adopt their own symbols and styles.

Book Description
Baseball has been called America’s true melting pot, a game that unites us as a people. Issei Baseball is the story of the pioneers of Japanese American baseball, Harry Saisho, Ken Kitsuse, Tom Uyeda, Tozan Masko, Kiichi Suzuki, and others—young men who came to the United States to start a new life but found bigotry and discrimination. In 1905 they formed a baseball club in Los Angeles and began playing local amateur teams. Inspired by the Waseda University baseball team’s 1905 visit to the West Coast, they became the first Japanese professional baseball club on either side of the Pacific and barnstormed across the American Midwest in 1906 and 1911. Tens of thousands came to see “how the minions of the Mikado played the national pastime.” As they played, the Japanese earned the respect of their opponents and fans, breaking down racial stereotypes. Baseball became a bridge between the two cultures, bringing Japanese and Americans together through the shared love of the game. Issei Baseball focuses on the small group of men who formed the first professional and semiprofessional Japanese baseball clubs. These players’ story tells the history of early Japanese American baseball, including the placement of Saisho, Kitsuse, and their families in relocation camps during World War II and the Japanese immigrant experience.

Book Description
When Quint and Rishy Studer attended a Pensacola Pelicans independent-league baseball game in 2002, the couple had no idea what would come next: an investment in Minor League Baseball that eventually led to a gorgeous bayfront ballpark, a revitalization of downtown Pensacola and the building of the Pensacola Blue Wahoos both on and off the field.Their journey is told in Living the Wahoos Life, an intimate account of how the Blue Wahoos came to be. It's a journey featuring big and small victories both on and off the field, as the Studers and their community owners worked to create the best baseball experience possible while extending that commitment to downtown Pensacola and the greater community.And, lest we forget, plenty of baseball memories were created along the way, beginning with inaugural Blue Wahoos Didi Gregorious and Billy Hamilton in 2012 to future superstars like Luis Arraez to notable managers like Pat Kelly and Jody Davis. Former Voice of the Blue Wahoos Tommy Thrall shares his favorite moments with the team, including Tyler Mahle's perfect game (and other no-hitters), the 2017 Southern League Championship and what is perhaps the most exciting play in baseball: a Billy Hamilton inside-the-park home run.You'll meet the folks who make the Blue Wahoos experience a special one, ranging from front-office personnel to ballpark ushers to the complete ownership roster, which includes Bubba Watson and Derrick Brooks. You'll see behind the scenes of a team where the emphasis is on the best fan experience possible. Best of all, you'll reminisce about the great memories created on Pensacola's bayfront ballpark-and prepare yourself for the next decade of baseball memories.

Book Description
Taken for granted by fans today, Sunday baseball was made possible only after decades of contention between evangelical Sabbatarians seeking enforcement of antiquated "blue laws," and an alliance of "Pro-Sabs" who prevailed against them with strategy and tenacity. At the heart of the struggle was a debate over the First Amendment and the place of religion in public life. Drawing on case records, this book details the legal and political battles and describes the roles of the judges, law enforcement officers and politicians, and the ordinary citizens who wanted to enjoy baseball on Sunday. The contributions of unheralded civil rights pioneers--such as Joe Neet, John Powell and Lewis Perrine--are documented.
