Ancient Baseball by Mikhail Horowitz

In thirty-six magnificent color pages, Mikhail Horowitz unveils the roots of baseball throughout human history and before, from paleolithic days through to Ancient Greece, Ancient China, Ancient Africa, etc. With all those Ancients, it's the perfect book for ALTE readers.

Seriously, this is one of the most classy and uproarious books ever. John Thorn, the official historian of Major League Baseball, calls ANCIENT BASEBALL "gorgeous, erudite, laugh-out-loud funny.” If you're a baseball fan, it's a must-have, and even if you don't know balls from strikes, you'll find it very entertaining.
