Baseball in Reading by Charles J Adams

Baseball in Reading by Charles J Adams

On a crisp April evening or a sizzling August afternoon, before a handful of friends or a throng of thousands, on a playground sandlot or in one of America's storied minor-league stadiums-whenever and wherever baseball is played in Reading, Pennsylvania, it is played with passion.

Baseball in Reading captures for the first time the images of the teams, players, and ballparks that have made the city one of minor-league baseball's true legends. Claiming the title Baseballtown in 2002, Reading has a baseball legacy that dates back to the late 1800s. Only three other minor-league teams have remained in the same location for a longer period of time. Players such as Charlie Wagner, Roger Maris, and Rico Petrocelli have contributed to the rich history that unfolds in Baseball in Reading.

Charles J. is a well-known author. Adams III has published more than twenty-five books, including Reading in Antique Postcards (Arcadia Publishing, 2000). He is a columnist for the Reading Eagle and a radio broadcaster on WEEU. He is a past president of the Reading Public Library and a member of the History Society of Berks County's board of trustees. He considers singing the national anthem before Reading Phillies games to be one of his proudest accomplishments.
