Baseball in Europe Chetwynd, Josh

Though baseballs European ancestry is today a topic of considerable research interest, few realize just how extensive a history the modern game has on the Continent and British Isles. Organized by country, this heavily researched book delves into the history of baseball in 40 countries, describing both the efforts to spread the game and the culture of baseball peculiar to the places where it has flourished. Appendices cover topics from major leaguers who have played in European domestic leagues to a glossary of baseball terms in seven languages used in Europe.
