Rockford, IL, and the surrounding area, the Rock River Valley, is rich in baseball history. The town first attracted national baseball attention in 1867 when its Forest City team defeated the touring Washington Nationals, who were previously undefeated. Rockford's young pitcher, Albert G. Spalding, quickly became recognized as a legend, as he dominated all aspects of the game.
Rockford's baseball history continued with minor league teams, industrial league teams, and other teams both semi-pro and amateur. The city again gained national attention with the four-time champion Rockford Peaches of the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League (1943-1954). The excitement of professional ball in the Forest City continues today with the Rockford River Hawks of the Frontier League. Baseball in Rockford tells the players' stories from 1865 to the present, illustrated with vintage photographs throughout.

Baseball in Rockford, Illinois (Images of Baseball Series)
A nice book with many wonderful black-and-white pictures of New York City. Too bad that the book has no text, except for the preface. My favorite picture is the one on page 11 where a ferry just arrives in New Jersey: Separate exits for men and women but those were the times. And I like the pictures of the ocean steamer Queen Mary.
