Publisher Synopsis
"Few baseball authors chart new territory as often as Peter Morris. With "Level Playing Fields", Morris has done it yet again. Morris unearths a rich, intriguing tale. This is a fascinating exploration of the roots of groundskeeping and the contributions of the feisty Murphy brothers. It''s another winner for Morris--and for all who savor early baseball history."--Tom Stanton, author of "The Final Season" and "Ty & The Babe"--Tom Stanton (09/29/2006) Read more...
