1913 Reach Official American League Baseball Guide

Presented here is an exceptionally desirable 1913 Reach Official American League Base Ball Guide, a splendid survivor from the very heart of baseball’s deadball era. This classic annual guide stands as both a historical record and a cherished relic from a time when the American League was rapidly cementing its place at the forefront of the National Pastime.

The cover displays bold period typography and classic early 20th-century design, highlighted by the unmistakable A.J. Reach branding, one of the most respected names in sporting goods publishing. Inside, the guide is packed with detailed player statistics, team rosters, league records, and period advertisements, offering a fascinating window into the professional game as it existed more than a century ago.

This example remains in excellent condition, with strong cover integrity, tight binding, and clean, legible pages throughout. The spine remains sound, and the interior presents beautifully, free from staining or major defects — remarkable for a paper item of this vintage.

Reach guides from the early 1910’s are increasingly difficult to obtain, and examples from this period are particularly prized due to their association with the deadball era’s legendary players and early Hall of Fame figures.

A wonderful piece of early baseball literature and Americana, this 1913 Reach Official American League Base Ball Guide is a must-have for the serious collector. This handsome and historically rich volume connects directly to the formative years of major league baseball. Please call directly or email coreyleiby@comcast.net with any questions or concerns.
