These and dozens more are recounted in this book chronicling hallmark days. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e From the first no-hitter in modern baseball (maybe) to the deep roots for the first night game in the major leagues, this book provides a detailed narrative of the game's most important moments, told in 31 singular, remarkable days.
