Baseball Threads

Baseball Threads : The Book of Early Baseball Uniforms, 1849 to 1900

For the first time ever, see how baseball uniforms really looked before 1900, an era today that exists only as sepia tone.

From the first Knickerbocker uniform of 1849 to the National League togs of 1900,  see every shocking color and fickle fad.

Over 900 full-color renderings are at the center of this book, created by the author over a 12-year period and meticulously researched in tandem with noted baseball historians and collectors.

The book will feature special pages on the following:
Baltimore, Boston, Buffalo, Chicago, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Detroit, Indianapolis, Kansas City, Louisville, Milwaukee, Minneapolis & St. Paul, New York, Ontario & Quebec, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, St. Louis, and Washington.
Also pages on
• the South Region (Atlanta, Nashville, and New Orleans), • Texas (Dallas, Ft. Worth, and Houston), and • the West (Denver, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle, and Stockton).

The visual history of early baseball has faded over time, literally and figuratively, and for many years the subject seemed too daunting to ever research and compile. Now fans and historians alike can hold in their hands every color of the early game. This book is for all who love baseball and its history. See the very first uniforms of your favorite MLB teams.
