Very nice article. Love 19th century. The pitcher indeed pitched underhand, with a mushy beat up ball, and was allowed a running start. I can't even imagine Nolan Ryan running up to the pitchers plate, and then throwing....:-)

Another interesting note is where early pro teams played. Like Troy, NY and Rockford, IL. These were baseball mecas early but then faded in time....I live an hour from Rockford. I keep telling my wife we should go to every antique store and flea market there and find some 19th century gems.

Thanks! Oh man, that would be so cool to find something from a shop or flea market. I believe Cap Anson started out with Rockford City.

Thanks everyone! Gary, that is a super cool piece. I have yet to add a CDV to my collection.
