![Jese Leos](https://sentence.bccbooking.com/author/dashawn-hayes.jpg)
Baseball is America's pastime, and its history is as rich and varied as the country itself. From the early days of the game, when it was played by farmers and factory workers, to the modern era, when it is a multi-billion dollar industry, baseball has been a part of our culture. It has been a source of entertainment, a way to learn about teamwork and perseverance, and a way to connect with our communities.

In his new book, From the Babe to the Beards, author John Thorn takes readers on a journey through baseball history, from the early days of the game to the present day. The book tells the stories of the most iconic players, teams, and moments in baseball, and explores the social and cultural significance of the game.
Thorn begins his story with the birth of baseball in the 1840s. He tells the story of how the game was invented by a group of young men in Cooperstown, New York, and how it quickly spread throughout the country. He then traces the development of the game, from the early days when it was played with a hard ball and a wooden bat, to the modern era, when it is played with a soft ball and a metal bat.
Along the way, Thorn tells the stories of some of the most iconic players in baseball history. He writes about Babe Ruth, the legendary slugger who hit 714 home runs during his career; Lou Gehrig, the iron man who played in 2,130 consecutive games; and Jackie Robinson, the first African American player to break the color barrier in Major League Baseball. Thorn also tells the stories of some of the most famous teams in baseball history, such as the New York Yankees, the Boston Red Sox, and the Chicago Cubs.
In addition to telling the stories of the players and teams, Thorn also explores the social and cultural significance of baseball. He writes about how baseball has been used to promote patriotism, to teach children about teamwork and perseverance, and to bring people together from all walks of life. He also writes about the role that baseball has played in American history, from the Civil War to the Cold War.
From the Babe to the Beards is a comprehensive and engaging history of baseball. It is a book that will appeal to baseball fans of all ages. Whether you are a lifelong fan or just a casual observer, you will find something to enjoy in this book.
