Abstract

Kevin Baker's book, "The New York Game: Baseball and the Rise of a New City," explores the intertwined relationship between New York City and baseball. Baker chronicles the formation and dissolution of leagues and teams, highlighting the influence of factors such as real estate and politics. The book also delves into the role of race in baseball, including the formation of all-Black New York teams and Jackie Robinson's breaking of the color barrier. Ultimately, Baker argues that baseball and New York City have played a significant role in shaping American culture and history. [Extracted from the article]
