\n The New York Times Book Review Editors’ Choice \u2022 A hugely entertaining history of baseball and New York City, bursting with larger-than-life figures and fascinating stories from the game\u2019s beginnings to the end of World War II.<\/p>\n

“You\u2019re going to beg for extra innings. Without missing a scandal or a sensation, with an eye on how assimilation transforms the picture, Kevin Baker has written a buoyant, double coming-of-age story. “\u2014Stacy Schiff, Pulitzer Prize-winning author<\/p>\n

Baseball is \u201cthe New York game\u201d because New York is where the diamond was first laid out, where the bunt and the curveball were invented, and where the home run was hit. It\u2019s where the game\u2019s first stars were born, and where everyone came to play or watch the game. With nuance and depth, historian Kevin Baker brings this all vividly back to life: the still-controversial, indelible moments\u2014Did the Babe call his shot? Was Merkle out? Did they fix the 1919 World Series? Here are all the legendary players, managers, and owners, in all their vivid, complicated humanity, on and off the field. <\/p>\n

In Baker\u2019s hands the city and the game emerge from the murk of nineteenth-century American life\u2014driven by visionaries and fixers, heroes and gangsters. He details how New York and its favorite sport came to mirror one another, expanding, bumbling through catastrophe and corruption, and rising out of these trials stronger than ever. <\/p>\n

From the first innings played in vacant lots and tavern yards in the 1820s; to the canny innovations that created the very first sports league; to the superb Hispanic and Black players who invented their own version of the game when white baseball sought to exclude them. And all amidst New York\u2019s own, incredible evolution from a raw, riotous town to a new world city. The New York Game is a riveting, rollicking, brilliant ode to America\u2019s beloved pastime and to its indomitable city of origin. <\/p>\n
