Old Time Baseball is written by Harvey Frommer and published by Simon and Schuster. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 1630760072 (ISBN 10) and 9781630760076 (ISBN 13).

In this delightful history of the sport, Frommer captures the flavor, smell, and craziness of the early days of baseball. Starting with its invention in 1842 by the descendant of a British sea captain (and not Abner Doubleday), Frommer traces the development of the sport from the first games on a vacant lot at 27th and Madison in New York to the turn of the century, when the National League was emerging as the preeminent forum for truly professional baseball.
