I just finished "The Night Casey was Born" by John Evangelist Walsh, the true story behind the great American Ballad Casey at the Bat. What a great read. Many wonderful pictures circa 1888 and lots of references to players such as King Kelly,Tim Keefe,Monte Ward and Orator O'Rouke. It depicts many of the players on baseball cards.Nice picture of the Boston team of 1890 including Dan Brouthers,Hoss Radbourne and John Clarkson.. I will be interested in comments from others who read it.
