There are a number of great books about the early days of BaseBall. And, of course one of the best is..... " The Glory of Their Times ", by Lawrence Ritter.
The book I really enjoy reading as well is..... " The Year They Called Off The World Series ", by Benton Stark.
Benton Stark is very descriptive in his stories of each player, your mind will visualize them playing the game.
The
1904 season was a series of unbelievable events of which we have not seen the likes of in BaseBall ever since.
Here's a list of T206 guys from the three teams that were in contention at the end of the 1904 season. All together there are approx. 70 players which are
featured in the T206 set....that as you read about each one of them....they become alive in your mind.
