Who is the Real Father of Baseball?

Posted By: barrysloate

Dan- I have no idea who coined that term, but it appears to be something current.

There is even some question as to why Cartwright is in the Hall of Fame (isn't everyone questioned these days?). His grandson, Bruce Cartwright, traveled to Hawaii around 1912, and began an aggressive campaign to get some recognition for his famous grandfather. That may explain how the Cartwright myth may have been overblown.
