Totally awesome, I come from Chicago area so this is interesting. I love Cap Anson too and love to read about him and the White Stockings/Colts. Even though I can't stand the Cubs because I am a Sox fan through and through, I do love the Anson era. I also find it intriguing that in 1871 the White Stockings field was right accross from the old Union Stock Yards until the Great Chicago Fire destroyed it.
Cap Anson is indeed my favorite 19th century ball player, and I love your site, I read it all the way through.
