The second part, on the rise of organized sport, deals with sporting spectacles in the antebellum era, the rise of baseball as the national game and of intercollegiate sports, and sports among the wealthy. Part 3 examines the ascendancy of organized sport from 1890 to 1950. This period teemed with sport heroes, and witnessed the supremacy of baseball and the popularity intercollegiate football. The final part on the age of televised sports explores professional team sports, and the demand of blacks and women for equal opportunities since 1950. ISBN 0-13-029133-1:  Read more...
