Book: Abner Doubleday The Civil War General Who Did Not Invent Baseball

Novel which debunks the long-time notion that Abner Doubleday invented baseball. In spite of the Baseball Hall of Fame being opened in Cooperstown, NY on the 100th anniversary of Doubleday’s alleged invention, Doubleday himself never claimed to have invented baseball. A commission fourteen years after his death made the determination way too late for Doubleday to refute the claims.

"Very excellent. I remember on Friday, August 20, 2021, my cousin and I helped distribute products to St. James Parishioners. If any of y'all happen to be in Charles Town on a Friday Evening, make sure you pre-order before you pickup. Highly recommend it."
