Book Recommendation

[oldjudge]

If you have an interest in early baseball in general, and the 1869-70 Cincinnati BBC in particular, then this book is for you. It is the most complete book about the team that I have seen and, at least to me, demonstrates why Peck and Snyder issued the team cards that they did.

I just ordered it on your recommendation, Jay.

Great book, it follows their earlier book on the team, The First Boys if Summer.
The earlier book is more 1869-70 specific and has an interesting approach, with tons of great facts. Unfortunately neither book has footnotes or an index as such.
I recommend both, although there is some overlap.

I trust the recommendation. I'll order a copy. Makes me wanna dig out my Harper's woodcuts to see the depiction of that team.
