Jeffrey Orens is an author who is a member of the Society for American Baseball research. His work has appeared in History Magazine and True West Magazine. His newest book is Selling Baseball: How Superstars George Wright and Albert Spalding Impacted Sports In America. The book explores the nineteenth century which was a time of rapid growth and development for the game of “base ball,” and players George Wright and Albert Spalding were right in the thick of it. They were the first superstars of the professional game as they won the hearts of a country in search of a unifying spirit after a devastating civil war. Their captivating performances on the field, along with their promotion of the game and of sports equipment helped grow professional baseball to unprecedented heights
