The section history publication builds on the original Manuscript created by Tom Trumble and Arch Cavanagh for the “Century of MCC Baseball” for the Club Centenary in 1988. It includes a foreword by Ross Arthur, Dedications by Tom Trumble

Alf Batchelder covered in detail the early years of the Baseball Section in his MCC library Publication “Pavilions in the Park” and the background to the Spalding tour of 1888.

The book also covers the background of the Kangaroo Tour in 1897 to the US, was it really the “Disaster” it was made out to be?

It includes information on the formation of the original Victorian Baseball League, was it going to be a summer or winter league? The split between the Baseball Union and the Baseball league. The club’s amazing 7-year premiership run, and many other terrific stories of heroes past and present.

Peter Unwin has updated information on the years since the centenary. The last decade has been summarised from annual reports and stories from current committee members.

The book also has many images that are not on the club room walls.
