Houston Baseball: The Early Years: 1861-1961

The birth of baseball in Houston has long been a subject of fascination--and mystery--to dedicated fans. Much like the birthday of baseball itself, it's impossible to put an exact date on the first game ever played in the Bayou City. Now, historian Mike Vance has collected definitive information uncovered by members of the Larry Dierker Chapter of The Society for American Baseball Research (SABR) and weaves it into a book that will gratify enthusiasts and shed new light on the game that made Houston a sports town.
