Summary
  1. "This book is a chronological history of the semi-professional ManDak organization, which was launched during the era called the Golden Age of Baseball. It began in January 1950 and the name Manitoba-Dakota Baseball League was soon shortened to the ManDak League. Stadiums, officials, lineups, managers, and other elements are detailed to set the stage. The book concludes with the debate over how the league would be classified by today's standards"--Provided by publisher.
