Jason- my computer skills approach zero so I'm the wrong guy for that. But Issue #3 of VCBC shouldn't be too hard to get. If you can't dig one up, send me your address at bsloate@att.net and I will just photocopy it for you. Leon may have an extra copy on his website.

Sphere and Ash and Sol White were both reprinted by Camden Press but they too can be a little tough to find. There may even be a newer reprint of Sol White. That book is an excellent history of black baseball in the 19th century. Sphere and Ash is just a National League history by Morse, who was a sportswriter in the 1880's. The text isn't too exciting, its allure is that it's unique. The copy I had, the only one known in private hands, belonged to Amos Alonzo Stagg and was signed by him. I saved a color photocopy of the cover but since I don't know how to scan I won't be of much help.
