Ed Delahanty....1903. My favorite 19th Century ballplayer, along with King Kelly.




1....If you subtract the 3 formative, free-swinging years of Big Ed's 16-year career, then do the math, you will be surprised to discover
the magnitude of his statistics in the following 13 years. And how they compare with the greats.

2....The "accidental death" of this great 19th Century Baseball player remains one of the most fascinating mysteries in Baseball history.
His youngest brother, Frank, traveled from Syracuse to Niagara Falls in July 1903 to identify his body. I do not think the ACTUAL cause
of Big Ed's death will ever be known ?

Let's hear your thinking on this particular subjects ? ?
