Posted By: <b>Ray Piskadlo</b><p>Just finished reading "Three Finger: The Mordecai Brown Story"... what a great book! Even though I usually focus on the Highlanders and Giants, this was one of my favorite books ever about the Dead Ball Era.<br /><br /><img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1168037774.GIF"> <br /><br />Secondly, Mitchell & Ness recently put their 1908 Cubs jersey on sale.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.mitchellandness.com/VipDetail.aspx?ID=5876" target="_new" rel="nofollow">http://www.mitchellandness.com/VipDetail.aspx?ID=5876</a><br /><br />If you need a password to view the jersey, the password is ALLACCESS<br /><br />Enjoy!<br />Ray Piskadlo<br /><br />PS.. Leon, my apologies if you think this is off-topic. I enjoy the books and jerseys from the time period as much as the cards. Feel free to delete.

Posted By: <b>Dan Bretta</b><p>Isn't Mordecai Peter Centennial "Three Finger" Brown the greatest baseball name ever?<br /><br />I would have named my kid that if my wife had let me. <img src="/images/wink.gif" height=14 width=14>

Posted By: <b>Dan Bretta</b><p>Not sure. I know he liked to chase firetrucks. I'd be cheating if I answered this one because I'd have to look it up.
