Summary:	"The national pastime came first to the Arizona Territory's military posts and soon gained a foothold in towns such as Tombstone, Tucson, Prescott and Phoenix, spreading through the territory with the help of railroads. This book takes a first-ever look into Arizona's rich baseball history, with never before seen photographs of the earliest baseball clubs and games"--
