This entertaining history blends anecdote, incident, and analysis as it chronicles the story of our national pastime. Alexander covers the advent of the first professional baseball leagues, the game’s surge in the early 20th century, the Golden 20s and the Gray 30s, the breaking of the color line in the late 40s, and the game’s expansion to its current status as a premier team sport. He describes changing playing styles and outstanding teams and personalities, but also demonstrates the many connections to society.

This book is long on detail and short on big ideas

If you could sum up Our Game in three words, what would they be?
If you are a stat person and want a reasonably succinct chronological history of baseball facts and figures this is an excellent book. If you are interested in the big social and cultural themes of baseball then there are far better books.
