1914 First Edition of Balldom: “The Britannica of Baseball.”
Lot 347. 1914 First Edition of Balldom: “The Britannica of Baseball.” This pioneering 304-page hardback by George L. Moreland traces the development of baseball from 1845. It provides team histories, rosters and league standings from as early as the 1870s, as well as anecdotes and obscure information. This is the first baseball “encyclopedia.” Born in England, Moreland was a sportswriter for the “Pittsburgh Post.” Balldom Publishing of New York issued the book. The book has a Baseball Magazine rubber stamp impression on the front end-page. The book, without a dust jacket, is well used but unabused, vg with some stains on the cover. Reprints of this book are being offered for $80. Why settle for a reprint? You could own a historic original for as little as our
Winning Bid $168.
