sounds like a cool memorial. I may be rusty about that event, but I thought Mays was not out to hit Chapman when it happened. If so, and to some extent anyway, what a stupid thing for Feller to say at the end--leave it to him to toot his own horn and at least implicitly disparage a man long since dead. |

For those who haven't read it, The Pitch That Killed is an excellent book on the subject |

Max is right. An excellent book. As is the author's other book about Ed Delahanty. Both books do a great job of explaining the nature of the game at the time. The Chapman book looks at the pennant races underway, the Delahanty book explains the 2 competing leagues, players jumping contracts, and the origins of the reserve clause. Great books. Great author. |

Just read the book and it is AWESOME. Whats great about it is he goes into a backstory about every significant person in it. I love the letter that Cobb wrote to Mays just before they met on field for the first time after the beaning. |

Although Black Sox scandal is often thought to be reason ML baseball appointed a commissioner with czar-like powers, it was in fact Mays who started the ball rolling when he walked off the Bosox team in 1919 and vowed never to play for them again. Frazee, owner of Bosox then did what he liked doing best, auctioning off Mays to the highest bidder, that being, who else, the NY Jankees. |
