The American Association existed almost solely to sell beer. The National League didn't allow beer sales, or play on Sundays. The AA appealed to the common man. There's a great book about it.

There's a whole book about this. I just saw it in a bookstore yesterday:
The Summer of Beer and Whiskey

I really liked The Summer of Whiskey and Beer by Edward Achorn. It's non-fiction about the game in the late 19th century.
