	World Almanac for Kids
		Baseball is played by amateurs of all ages, including numerous sandlot clubs and athletic associations, virtually every high school and college in the U.S., and scores of junior leagues.
		Most early variations of baseball were played on a square field, with stakes at the corners serving as stations and a striker’s box situated about midway between the first and fourth stations.
		Much controversy surrounded baseball’s reserve clause, which bound a player to one team until the player retired or was traded; if a player’s contract expired, and no new agreement was reached, the clause allowed the team to renew the contract annually.

	Baseball Almanac - Year In Review : 1953 American League
		In an effort to prevent the decline of baseball in small towns and cities throughout the country, Senator Edwin C. Johnson offered a bill to give all ball clubs the sole right to ban radio and/or television broadcasts of major league games in their own territories.
		The bill was intended to restore the equity between large communities and the small areas and was in direct response to the Antitrust Division of the Justice Department who had prohibited teams from banning any broadcasts in 1949.
		In 1908 and 1953, respectively, both pitchers shutout the New York Yankees in all of their starts during the season.

		His study on the reasons for baseball's eminence in American sports in the first part of the century, however, is frustrating.
		The slow acceptance of radio, night baseball, fl players, the rise of the commissioner's office, and the ironclad nature of the reserve clause are among the topics looked at in the book.
		The book does a good job examining some of the changes that took place between 1903 and 1953 in baseball that we take for granted today (night baseball, steel and concrete ballparks, etc.), but does get tedious at times with its wealth of somewhat arcane information.
