I have one besides the fact I like the Dots Miller reference in your first post, don't know how I missed it.
I was just saying to my dad today it's sad how few people care about baseball history and the proof was in two articles I wrote for the Pirates website I write for yesterday. A story about a rumor about Vicente Padilla pitching for the Pirates scouts down in Nicaragua gets picked up by tons of sites and plenty of people discuss it(took me about 30 minutes total to write the story,if that). I post a bio of Claude Ritchey early this morning that took about 3 hours to write/edit and it gets about 1/10th the amount of hits. Makes me a little sick how big of a difference there can be between those two stories.
Oh well, I guess years from now the Ritchey article will still be interesting to a select few, hopefully, for the hobbies sake.

Please check out my books on baseball history. They include the bio of star second baseman Dots Miller. A book featuring 20 Moonlight Graham players who got into just one game. Another with 13 players who were with the Pittsburgh Pirates during the regular season, but never played a game. There's also one about 27 baseball families, as well as a day-by-day look at the worst team in Pittsburgh Pirates history. All five can be found here:
