Great work. To amplify slightly on your story regarding Gilligan and Radbourn. It is difficult for us today to fully appreciate how painful and dangerous catching was in 1884, not that it is easy even with modern equipment. When Radbourn agreed to pitch all of Providence's remaining games, the "personal catcher" ethos of the day meant Gilligan would catch them all. It was arguably much more demanding physically for Gilligan, despite being very arduous for Radbourn.
