"What was the game of baseball like in earlier times? Was it easier? Probably not! Different? You bet!" Way back when, you could get a runner out by soaking him (hitting him with the baseball). Fly chasers (outfielders) used to patrol the pasture (play the field) bare-handed. It took nine balls for an Annie Oakley (a walk). Despite all the changes, one thing has stayed the same: almost from the very beginning, baseball has been "America's game." Full-color art
