Base Ball Call for Submissions

Base Ball is a peer-reviewed journal that invites article submissions related to amateur and professional baseball at all levels through 1920. A range of disciplinary perspectives or methodologies are welcome, and topics appropriate to the journal may come from any number of subject areas, including history, art and literature, cultural studies, politics, and business.

Letters to the editor and long-form nonfiction articles are considered. Poetry, fiction, and unsolicited reviews will be returned unread. Previously published articles and simultaneous submissions are not considered. Articles should be approximately 3,000 to 8,000 words. Be sure to include a 100 to 150-word abstract and a 75-word biographical statement with any article submission. See our style guide for further information.

Two hard copies of the double-spaced manuscript or, preferably, an email attachment in Microsoft Word or plain text (ASCII) are required. Number pages consecutively. To ensure anonymity during the peer review process, name and contact information should appear only on a separate cover page. Editorial decisions will be sent out within 60 days of manuscript receipt.
