19th Century Baseball Biographies on YouTube
 
Hey everyone,

I'm working on a fun side project putting together some quick bios on some older unsung players. Hopefully you enjoy them.

I've since added a couple more since my first video of Lave Cross:

Silver Flint: https://youtu.be/14lBsossNMY
Paul Hines: https://youtu.be/AsE3c9DFKr0
Lave Cross: https://youtu.be/qIh7tNP0_K4

I've also uploaded quick "shorts" of the portraits of each player using the tech that brings them back to life. Kinda creepy, but super cool!

Enjoy!

Thank you!

As for requests, possibly. It all depends on if I can get enough info on the player. I tend to prefer non hall of famers from the 19th century. Feel free to PM me your idea.

Thank you, I appreciate that greatly!

It's really fun to find the old newspaper articles on these guys and really bring their story to life.

I'm still not sure on the "shorts" that I post with the animated photos. I thought it was an interesting, if not macabre, additional way of bringing them to life.

The vast majority of the info, outside of stats, I find in the old newspapers on newspapers.com. It takes some digging, but it’s fun.
