Early baseball guides digitized by the Smithsonian

[thecatspajamas]

There are a few interesting things to be found poking around the archive.org site, mostly originating from the Smithsonian's efforts (presumably they are on a Smithsonian site somewhere too, but I'm not sure where). I have a few besides what was presented in the list, but honestly can't recall where I picked them up. It's always neat to look through these old guides, and there are a lot of minor league teams that you can pretty much only find photos of in old Spalding & Reach Guides (not high quality images, but at least it's something).

Try doing searches for "baseball" or "base ball" plus "guide", "handbook", "record", etc. and see what you turn up.
