My pleasure. It doesn't really say anything 'new'
, but for me it validates some things that were written later.
Thanks for the Thorn recommendation. My library is about 50% baseball history, but I haven't yet read Thorn's book.
So far, David Block's 'Baseball Before We Knew it' is my favorite in terms of depth of research and presentation of thinking. It's also a good read and David's a great guy.
