Bog beskrivelse

Cricket was played in Virginia in 1710 and was enjoyed on Georgia plantations in 1737. Teams representing New York and Philadelphia faced each other as early as 1838. By 1865, Philadelphia was considered the best cricket-playing city in the United States, competing against Canadian, English and Australian teams from 1890 to 1920. This 30 year span was essential to the formation of America''s sports identity--and by its end, while the sport of baseball drew increasing attention, the game of cricket moved from being the game of America''s aristocrats to a safe haven for America''s nonwhite immigrants who were excluded from baseball because of Jim Crow laws.

Here, the game''s unique multi-ethnic, religious and cultural tradition in the United States is fully explored. The author explains cricket''s ties to the beginnings of baseball and covers the ways in which the game continues to play an important role in America''s inner cities.
