I highly recommend "Ed Delahanty in the Emerald Age of Baseball" by Jerrold Casway. The book really fleshes out Delahanty's personality and impact, with just the final chapter being dedicated to the fall. The book also gives lots of information on the 1890 Players' League and the contract jumping of the time.
As a lifelong Phillies fan. I loved the book because Casway also gives excellent information on the autocratic Phillies ownership of the era and 19th century Phillies Hall of Famers like Sam Thompson and Billy Hamilton. I mean, who knew that both Thompson and Hamilton were frugal men prepared for life after baseball? Last edited by Bored5000; 11-30-2013 at 03:31 PM.
