LOL, errors are also a part of baseball. Sometimes they remain undetected for a long time. The book is fine. If I get shot at for making just one mistake in my work, I think I'll be OK.

I agree, but still - when you are creating a print publication, you've got to check all the facts, especially if your assertion is printed on the cover. I see nothing wrong with Raymond getting excited about discovering this, but it's not that big of a deal, and it might end up that they are not completely wrong, although I have no idea what that would mean.

"errors are also a part of baseball" - nice. Sometimes a correction involves adding an error, as in Felix getting one so that his ERA could drop and win him the title. Uh oh, would this be 'opening a can of worms'?

Default The '14 Cracker Jack book...

has a problem in the Index. Frank is listed as John "Home Run" Baker. Page 14 has it correct.

I think the biggest error they made in that book was using reprints instead of authentic T206s. I'm just saying.

While it seems hard to believe, Tannehill is the only shortstop to complete two unassisted DOUBLE plays in one game.

Well, that explains the confusion.

COMPLETELY agree with T3s. It's almost a travesty that reprints were used throughout the book...

Curiously and though it did not involve a double play, this was the same game where Germany Schaeffer famously stole first base, having previously just stolen second.

That decision just boggles the mind.

Right on, Craig! I've seen other forum members make the same comment, and I couldn't agree more. Don't get me wrong, I still love the book. But I don't understand why reprints were used. I'd have been happy with them using 5s and 6s.

The T206 Players book and the Cracker Jack Collection book serve as my coffee table books. They're beautiful, and I can't stop picking them up. But, if they did a second printing run of the book, only with real cards, I'd buy it in a second.

Agreed, I would love a second version with real cards. I'd buy it in a second.
