Great article; I was happy to come across it while I was riding the bus this morning on the way in to work. I knew most of the story, but there were some aspects I hadn't heard before, such as the St. Louis manager who positioned his 3rd baseman so far back to allow Lajoie to continue bunting and go 8-for-8 was eventually banned from baseball (although he popped up in the Federal Leagues later).
I always hope articles such as this one in mainstream publications will continue to spur interest in vintage baseball.
