/ These rule books are some of the first of their kind ever to be published; baseball pitching great and sports equipment magnate Alfred G. Spalding began publishing the rule books in 1877. But they are more than just rule books: they also contain National League meeting minutes, information about National League teams, including schedules and statistics, records of the National League's dealing with rival leagues, and a wealth of information about the Spalding Sporting Goods Co.

/ Spaldingās Official Base Ball Guide was perhaps the premier publication of its day for the game of baseball. It featured editorials from baseball writers on the state of the game, statistics, photographs, and analysis of the previous season for all the Major League teams and for many of the so-called minor leagues across the nation

/ Beginning in the 1930s The American and National League printed its Red and Green books to serve as a research tool for the media, The Green Book was full of information about the National League teams, including attendance data, official game schedules, spring training information and club standings. There is also substantial information on the players, such as, batting averages, lifetime pitching records, grand slam home runs, and MVP awards. While the Red and Green books were eventually sold to fans for a time, in 2009 they stopped printing them and sent digital versions to the press
I sincerely appreciate the research work, and the information being shared. It is important and interesting history.
