Posted By: <b>Jodi Birkholm</b><p>Good luck on that one. Most pre-1960 baseball deaths are very difficult to procure. It gets exponentially more difficult with each decade that you go back. I have never owned a Lundgren, and have only seen two.

It is said to be written when he was the the baseball coach at UI in 1923.

Posted By: <b>Rhys</b><p>I have never heard of the book, but I know he was a top notch coach at the University of Michigan. I have a large etched negative photo of him from 1916 as the Baseball coach and there was a photo on ebay with both him and Fielding Yost the Football coach the other day but it was a bit small for the opening bid.<br><br>Rhys

Posted By: <b>Jodi Birkholm</b><p>No problem. I just wish it would be easier for you to acquire a signature, but will readily admit that I'd be bidding against you if we ever saw one up for bids!
