The 1883 Reach's Base Ball Guide is the first publishing of these manuals, with no colored ink on either cover, making it distinctive and different from the rest. Both covers are intact, as are all pages. It is in very good shape for being so vintage and for being the very first the publication. This item is packed to the gills with baseball information. The pages contain the playing field dimensions as well as a detailed rulebook that explains the game's slight variances. In addition to a detailed look at the previous league season, including hitting statistics, winners, and prominent pitchers, it walks readers through the scoring system. Its meticulous consideration of content and detail provides new insights into the sport's cultural relevance and tradition. This item's lengthy history makes it a valuable addition to any collection.
