Ball, Bat and Bishop by Robert W Henderson
Covers the origins not only of baseball but of a score of related sports involving hitting, catching, throwing, or kicking a ball. This title traces the origins of ball sports to religious rites in ancient Egypt, where the ball represented a fertility symbol and opposing teams engaged in mock combat signifying the struggle of good against evil.
Henderson is by all odds the world's foremost student and soundest historian of the origin and growth of games that are played with a ball-- John Lardner, New York Times Book Review
