The stereotype of the ballplayer in 1867 was that he was rough and tumble and would likely be battered from head to toe due to the roughness of the game. The cartoon illustrations in the book reflect this in a humourous and exaggerated way.
And I should add that the "muffin" was most susceptible to injury, as he was as likely to be hit with a batted ball as he was to catch it. Last edited by barrysloate; 06-26-2012 at 09:52 AM.
