Matt- I did a search of the New York Times archives for Ramsey figuring since he managed around New York state that his obituary might have been in the paper. Tried "Henry D.", "Hank", "H.D." etc, no dice. Found numerous references to his managing career including a baseball tour he led to Cuba in 1904 but nothing from his playing days. Any pre-1900 search hit on "Ramsey baseball" was likely pitcher Toad Ramsey whose life, as an interesting sidebar (to me any way), was reputed to have been "ruined by debauchery". That's a good a way to go as any, I suppose. Glad Mike was able to deliver the goods.
