The National Archives and Records Administration (usually shortened to the "National Archives") "is an independent agency of the United States government charged with preserving and documenting government and historical records and with increasing public access to those documents, which comprise the National Archives" (Wikipedia). They not only preserve and document government and historical records, however, they also publish a handful of books, booklets, and such like.

This free pdf ebook, entitled The National Pastime in the National Archives, comes courtesy of the National Archives. The National Archives' collection on baseball is so broad and deep that this book serves well as just a general introduction to it. There is quite a bit of text but the book is made up primarily of photos and illustrations, as you might expect from the title of the book.

The thought occurs to me that when you read [past tense] that the ebook comes from the National Archives, you automatically thought "dry and boring." Let me assure you that it isn't! I was fascinated by (okay, I admit it) the pictures, and I don't even like baseball!

There is no pagination in the book, but I suspect that the ebook is about 150 pages long.

Here's the place to go to directly download the pdf ebook. If you need or want it, you can also get it in ePub, for iPad, iPhone, Android, Nook, SONY Reader or other mobile devices or readers (I hope that that includes Kindle), or iPhone, iPad or iPad touch, or for Scribd. I suggest that you start here, where you can get the links for those.
