1890 Players League Sam Thompson Cabinet RARE

[Keith H. Thompson]

that the many errors and oversights in my posts are attributable to my age (93 years old) . For example, I know full well that that Terry Knouse goes by the handle TIK and TIK. But more important, I should have known that the Philadelphia Player's League entry were the "Quakers" and that the National League team were the "Phillies."

It also gives me an opportunity to promote Roy Kerr's biography of "Big Sam Thompson." It is not just a puff piece. Roy was a dedicated researcher of the old school and never trusted anything he did not verify himself. But even so, the book is rooted on my pictorial collection, my brother Davids notes from microfilm, Sam & Ida's scrapbook and family histories from my cousin Don and other relatives. I worked very closely with Roy on the book and proofread each chapter as it unfolded. It is by far the most important and accurate biography of Sam ever done.
