I Think We Need an Ed Delahanty Appreciation Post

Wow, Brendan, that is amazing to read in such detail!

It truly gives such great insight into the matter!

I know this isn't really the point of the post, but I found it interesting that Delahanty was in the process of signing with the Giants. I had never heard that before.

Beautiful N173, Craig. First time I have seen that one.

Wowza on the N173s in this thread!!!

He actually did sign a contract with the Giants for 1903-05. He received a $4,000 advance on a salary of $19,000 for the three years, which he spent before the season started (contract signed November 5, 1902).

The American and National Leagues later agreed to honor each other's contracts; Delahanty was returned to Washington and the Giants contract was cancelled.
