Rob Edelman has been involved with film for over 20 years as a journalist, critic, teacher and author. He was actively pursuing a film history book when a publishing contact asked if he was interested in baseball, and would be willing to write a book on baseball and film. While researching and writing this book, Edelman watched as many baseball films as he could. It took over two years to collect the 400-plus photographs as well as to write the text. The majority of the photographs in the collection are included in the book. Edelman is considered an expert on baseball movies and his book is one of the premier works on the subject.
