Thanks for posting the SABR link on this subject.

Also, I recommend the book...." RED LEGS and BLACK SOX "......written by Edd Roush's Grandaughter, Susan Dellinger (Copyright 2006).

I met her in Cooperstown in 2006, and we talked for quite a while. At the end of our conversation she gave me an autographed copy of her book.

Susan's story is based on her 1st-hand knowledge of conversations and memorabilia from her HOFer Grandfather Edd and her Grandmother, Essie Mae Roush.

Her main contention is that Cincinnati unequivocally won the 1919 World Series.
