5.0 out of 5 stars
Valuable Reference For All Baseball Fanatics,
This review is from: Nineteenth Century Stars (Paperback)
The Society for American Baseball Research (SABR) does a great job in profiling many good players from the 1800's (over 130 of them). Each page is devoted to a player, with a picture and a short biography of his life, as well as his statistics. This well-researched book pays tribute to the little known players of days long gone and gives us a picture of what baseball was like in the beginning.
5.0 out of 5 stars
great document who'll enriched any baseball fans library,

This review is from: Nineteenth Century Stars (Paperback)
This book specialize itself of presenting short but complete bios of 19th century players who were not inducted to the Hall Of Fame.
Some players such as Pete Browning well deserves to be enriched, but as they played mostly in the American Association, they still get the cold treatment. What a shame. Many of the bios included are not available anywhere else. Do yourself a favor, read the stories and achievements of such forgotten baseball stars like Matt Kilroy, Louis Sockalexis, Toad Ramsey, Guy Hecker, Bobby Matthews, Davey Force, Levi Meyerle and so on. It's a great document who'll enriched any baseball fans library. |
