MARCH But Didn’t We Have Fun An Informal History of Baseball’s Pioneer Era, 1843–1870 Peter Morris Do you think you know the story of baseball’s origins If so, But Didn’t We Have Fun will make you rethink everything you thought you knew. By weaving together a tableau of long-forgotten primary documents, Peter Morris retrieves a lost era and a lost way of life. Mr. Morris, the indefatigable researcher and brilliant chronicler of baseball, here takes a fresh look at the early amateur years of the game. His story begins with a generation of mid-nineteenth-century Americans who moved from the countryside to the cities and brought a cherished but delightfully informal game with them. Through the prism of firsthand accounts, the reader is privileged to watch as these pioneers adapt a simple rural game to their new surroundings. The members of groundbreaking clubs like the Knickerbockers of New York and the Red Stockings of Cincinnati are rescued from the dusty pages of history books and emerge as real men with genuine joys and sorrows. We share their exultant pride as baseball spreads and earns its status as the national pastime—and we appreciate their deep dismay as their game is transformed by professionalism and other growing pains. But Didn’t We Have Fun offers a challenging new perspective on baseball’s earliest years and conveys the sense of joy that once pervaded its players. Despite the competitiveness and professionalism that took over the game, the spirit of these pioneers triumphed in a most unexpected way. Mr. Morris supplants the long-discredited Abner Doubleday myth and other misconceptions with a story just as marvelous—but one that really happened. With 23 rare photographs. Peter Morris’s A Game of Inches, published in two volumes by Ivan R. Dee, won both the Seymour Medal and the Casey Award as the best baseball book of the year—the first book ever to do so. It was lauded by reviewers who called it “the book that every serious baseball fan must have” and “heaven for fans of the game and a required addition to all baseball collections.” He lives in Haslett, Michigan. • Co-op available • Ads in New Yorker, Harper’s, Baseball Digest, SABR • Direct mail campaign • Sports radio tour in 27 Major League Baseball cities • Television tour: Washington, D.C., Chicago • Bookclubs: Book-of-the-Month Club • Author tour: New York City, Los Angeles, Chicago, Boston, Detroit, Ann Arbor March • Baseball/Sports 272 pages • 6 x 9 • Carton qty: 24 23 b&w photos ISBN13: 978-1-56663-748-0 1-56663-748-1 • $26.95 cl. • [ T ] IVAN R.
