Base Ball: A Journal of the Early Game

Base Ball is a peer-reviewed journal published twice each year. Offering the best in original research and analysis, the journal promotes study of baseball's early history, from its protoball roots to 1920, and its rise to prominence within American popular culture.

Review quotations:

“One of the more compelling sports-related publications to come along in a great while...unostentatious, solid, and a great read”—Library Journal

“John Thorn, a respected historian of early baseball history, is the journal's editor and Base Ball has a first-rate editorial board and, as a result, already appears poised to be among the finest journals dedicated to the history of sports.” -–Sport Literature Association
