Charlie Adams has added to the Images of baseball series with his book, Baseball in Reading. He uses photos from the Historical Society of Berks County, the Reading Phillies organization, and many photographers in the area. Charlie introduces each chapter and writes captions for the photographs.

Baseball is covered from the early days of minor league ball, the stadiums, the youth leagues, the famous players who either lived or played in Reading up to the current minor league team, the Reading Phillies. As an added treat, the words to Charlie's "There's a game tonight in Baseballtown" are included.

It is fitting that proceeds from the sale of the book go to the Historical Society and Baseballtown Charities. In fact, a grant from Baseballtown Charities helped build the little league field at Lauer's Park Elementary School, once the site of Lauer's Park minor league stadium. ( )
