| Abstract | "From the early 1900s to the 1950s, baseball games between mine workers were a small-town phenomenon, each team attracting intensely loyal fans. Based on interviews with surviving players, families of deceased players, and contemporary sources, this history covers not only teams and leagues but their function within the mining communities of Virginia, Kentucky and West Virginia"--Provided by publisher. |
