I do give the main credit to Larry Ritter. Hank and I have talked about this at length. I truly believe that Larry Ritter should be in the Hall of Fame because of these recordings. Larry also wrote some other great books. But to actually hear the stories of men who played major league baseball in the first decade of the 1900s is amazing. If you do not own this four disc set, contact Hank Thomas and get one. It is THE best baseball book/recording/video out there, bar none. When you hear Smoky Joe Wood, Sam Crawford, Jimmy Austin, Hans Lobert (these are my favorite two of the group) and others, you will really get excited and, if you are like me, you will want to go out and buy more Pre-War baseball cards. I have told many people about these recordings. But if you don't own them, you are definitely short-sighting your enjoyment into Pre-War baseball. Cy |

Cy,
I owe you a thank you for pointing me towards the recordings. So amazing to hear the voices of the legends and players we collect. The love these guys had for the game really comes out in their voices. I have listened to the recordings countless times. Thank you, Cy. Best, Andy |

To me, Satchell Paige's biography would be a good read. All he had to endure due to segragation, and the fact he finally made the big leagues at such an old age....

I'd love to read a book on Wally Pipp. I'd love to read the story about that famous day he sat out and know how he felt about his headache and what kind of relationship, if any, he had with Gehrig.
