That is great! It would be interesting to compare Rizzuto's thoughts to those of a current shortstop like Brendan Ryan.

Here's a book I've had for a while, but just now took a pic of: Spalding's 1885 'Art of Base Ball Fielding'. I plan to copy all the pages and make them available, but scanning is impossible without damaging the book. The cool part is that it's clearly based on the professional game's fielding, which at the time did not involve gloves.
