Baseball ABC
"Baseball ABC" by McLoughlin Bros. is a children's educational picture book written in the late 19th century. This book serves as an instructional guide for young readers, introducing them to the alphabet while simultaneously familiarizing them with the game of baseball. Each letter corresponds to a term relevant to baseball, ensuring that children not only learn their ABCs but also gain insights into the sport. The book creatively pairs letters of the alphabet with various baseball-related concepts and characters. For instance, the letter "A" stands for Arthur, a playful boy who excels at running during games, while "B" signifies key elements like the ball, bat, and bases of the game. Each subsequent letter introduces different roles, actions, or items associated with baseball, such as the catcher, pitcher, and umpire, among others. Through playful rhymes and illustrations, "Baseball ABC" combines education and fun, making it an engaging way for children to learn about both the alphabet and the exciting world of baseball.
