This book sets the record straight! Award-winning baseball author Jack L. Hayes lays out the facts to prove that the history of America's National Pastime is riddled with mistakes, half-truths, and outright lies. And it's all part of what makes baseball America's national game. Five Baseball myths you probably believe: Abner Doubleday invented baseball. No, he didn't. Alexander Cartwright is the Father of Baseball. Wrong! The first baseball game was played at Cooperstown, NY? Wrong again. Pete Rose deserves to be in the Baseball Hall of Fame. Well, probably not. Or, Shoeless Joe Jackson threw the 1919 World Series. None of these myths are true. Even Major League Baseball and the Baseball Hall of Fame knows that. Get the facts. Then you can know, too.
