Did you even read it before debunking it? It's based on lots of contemporaneous evidence.

Yes, I did. I just don't believe certain parts of it. Too much of it is hearsay. Quite a bit of what I believe would be deemed hearsay as well, I will grant you. As John Thorn stated, it really doesn't matter whether he did or not, the myth and the debate will go on long after you and I are gone.

Agree on that. It's a huge thing. You cannot write the history of baseball and leave it out.
