My pleasure. It doesn't really say anything 'new' , but for me it validates some things that were written later.

Thanks for the Thorn recommendation. My library is about 50% baseball history, but I haven't yet read Thorn's book.

So far, David Block's 'Baseball Before We Knew it' is my favorite in terms of depth of research and presentation of thinking. It's also a good read and David's a great guy.

Thank you for posting Scott! What other early Base Ball books do you recommend? I love to read Peter Morris's works, especially But Didn't We Have Fun.

If you are a 19th century researcher, I think Preston Orem's book is a must.

Sol White's History of Colored Baseball is also a must.
