I purchased about 10 baseball books in the last 2 weeks and learning a lot. Finished the books on Mickey Mantle, Babe Ruth and Christy Mathewson (Learned he died later in life from complications from the war effort...chemical weapons) and now reading about Walter Johnson then it will be Hugh Duffy. I also read the book called T206 The Monster.
Looking forward to reading Cap Anson's book.
Please do not say I am not doing my own work I simply have yet to get to reading in detail about this specific player.

Adrian I commend you on your enthusiasm and I'm impressed with the number of books you have read in the last two weeks.
I've been reading Crazy '08 since Christmas! Half way thru it..... I usually muster about 2 paragraphs each night before I konk out.
It's been interesting to follow your journey the last couple of weeks or so. I don't recall anyone yet giving you the advice "it's a marathon, not a sprint". That advice is usually given to people who are chasing the monster, but I think it applies to alot of things.
