		Abrams does not add much to our understanding of what the game of baseball was like in 1903, although his portrait will be of interest to the general reader, nor does he have much original to say about who attended games a century ago.
		Where Abrams makes an original contribution is his argument about the role that baseball played in uniting the disparate groups in the expanding cities of the nation, specifically Boston, which is the real focus of his study.
		Baseball, he argues, became an outlet and a set of traditions for the immigrants new to America.

		Baseball, played in social decorum in architectural settings in which cities could take pride, became, in the first two decades of this century, part of ''the gentrification of American culture'' of which Theodore Roosevelt's career was emblematic.
		Members of the baseball establishment thought nighttime ball was ''unnatural'' -- until they noticed that Cincinnati paid for its lights with the proceeds from the first two night games in 1935 and drew a third as many fans to that season's seven night games as it drew to the 69 other games.
		This is a new old-style, concrete-and-steel downtown park, which represents the rediscovery by major league baseball of the importance of ambiance to the fans' experience.

	Baseball and the American Way by Mickey Craig (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Baseball was thus part of the "City Beautiful" movement of the growing urban centers around World War I. Another decision by the owners echoing the reformist overtones of Progressivism was the decision to clean up baseball— eliminating gambling and drunkenness, thus distinguishing it from sports such as boxing or horse racing (or today’s professional wrestling).
		White identifies baseball with a particular political and cultural moment— the Progressive Era— but he fails to connect what goes on the field of baseball with what might be called the American principle of justice.
		Thus baseball may be passing away as the national pastime, as the necessary condition for the existence of our national pastime is the presence of a self-governing nation, proud of her liberty and confident in it.

		When baseball writer and historian Henry Chadwick boldly stated, in Spalding's own Baseball Guide of 1903, that baseball had come from rounders, an English game, Spalding was upset.

		Baseball attendance in the A.L. and N.L. dropped to around 5 million per year in 1914 and 1915 when the well financed Federal League burst onto the scene.

		After two years of bitter commercial warfare and a peace treaty signed before the 1903 season, the two major circuits of baseball clubs were ready for combat once again, this time on the field and not in the board offices.
		In 1903, no one appreciated that this post-season event would be repeated annually (with but two interruptions) for a century.
		Baseball is more than a business — although it is certainly a profitable commercial enterprise.

	White, G.E.: Creating the National Pastime: Baseball Transforms Itself, 1903-1953.
		At a time when many baseball fans wish for the game to return to a purer past, G. Edward White shows how seemingly irrational business decisions, inspired in part by the self-interest of the owners but also by their nostalgia for the game, transformed baseball into the national pastime.
		Baseball grew up in the midst of urban industrialization during the Progressive Era, and the emerging steel and concrete baseball parks encapsulated feelings of neighborliness and associations with the rural leisure of bygone times.
		Nonetheless, the image of baseball as a spirited civic endeavor persisted, even in the face of outright corruption, as witnessed in the courts' leniency toward the participants in the Black Sox scandal of 1919.
