Abner Doubleday - Young Patriot Series #11 Paperback

Take me out to the ball game;

Take me out to the crowd . . .

Where would America be without its favorite pastime?

Abner Doubleday is credited as one of the early pioneers of the modern game of baseball, but as history would have it, Doubleday likely was not the game's true inventor.

Perhaps the most famous guy who never invented baseball, Doubleday did still play a role in America's evolution. He became a captain, lieutenant colonel and major general in the United States Army - serving largely during the Civil War with his strong opposition to slavery.
