Author Description

"The History of the Mayan Ball League" explores the complex life (and death?) of the first professional sports league, the Mayan Ball League. There were fantastic athletes, charismatic owners, the world's first sports journalists, alpacas by the bucketful. It is a breathtaking adventure in the development of a professional sports league from its infancy to its bitter end. Well, not quite end, as technically the league's players are simply still locked out, and the league hasn't officially been disbanded.
