Recensioner i media

“this is a powerful story, powerfully told”—The Inside Game (SABR Deadball Era Committee Newsletter); “this is a terrific piece of research, particularly on the pre-1925 years for which so little has been written. There is a wonderful collection of photos with very informative captions.”—David Neft, editor, The Baseball Encyclopedia, 1969, co-author The Sports Encyclopedia: Baseball, 1973-2007.
