Ball, Bat and Bishop: THE ORIGIN OF BALL GAMES
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.
