When I became aware of baseball in my younger days, I actually went to the library and read about its history. My grandfather didn't pass me any old cards he had (too bad...), my dad love soccer (being asian). I fell in love with this great game through reading about it. I learned about big Ed Delehanty tragic death over Niagara Falls...Honus Wagner's awkward appearance...Lajoie's spiking accident...Cobb's hatred for just about anything besides baseball, and etc etc. That's how I connected with these players and the "old" game. There was no talk of money, wife beatings, contract holdouts...just boys playing the game they love.
