Posted By: <b>Rob L</b><p>I picked up the Spalding 1889 guide last week and it has quickly become one of my favorite pieces in my collection. Reading it quickly immersed my in a time warp. It's great to read it as if the players of old are here in real time. It also has a great section on the problems of baseball at that time: wine and women!!! Abosutely an incredible read.<br /><br /><img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1091742823.JPG">

Posted By: <b>Rob L</b><p>I'll have to see if I can scan it tonite. The section of the problems with baseball is a 1/2 page. The spine on this books is great condition, so I will see if I can get it on my scanner without hurting the spine when I get home tonite.<br /><br />
