Posted By: <b>john/z28jd</b><p> I recently received a copy of the new Cap Anson book written by Howard Rosenberg who contributes here from time to time and a few chapters into it,it looks like a great read,very informative and very well-written and some great pictures.Im going to have to pick up copies of the previous 3 books(has anyone read any of those?).With all of the outside newspaper credits that really help you get a picture of what the media thought of players back then,it looks like Howard put a trememndous amount of time and effort into this book!<br /><br />Thanks,Howard

Here in Detroit, Cap Anson was hated, as was Kelly, & even Ewing. They cheated, cried, etc.<br /><br />Regards,<br />Joe G.
