VCBC--the whole thing!
Posted By: Julie
The cover is great--as I'm sure most of you already know, since it's been on the VCBC website for weeks, if not months! 76 pages long, only. In spite of the two articles on T207s ("What were they thinking?" (great title!) by Bob Marquette and "No population explosion-Studying T207s" by Tim Newcomb), my vote for the best article in the issue goes to "baseball's geniuses; In the beginning..."" by Dennis Purdy, Charles Peverelly and Preston Orem (not all of whom are alive yet). Wonderful illustrations, including a drawing of a baseball "ground" signed by Henry Chadwick, and a glossary of baseball terminology from the 19th century, an original oil painting (in black and white) of A. Cartrwright, a list of early rules, a lemon peel ball, cards and carte de visites, ETC! A LONG article! |

for the kind words. The articles were a labor of love for Tim N. and I. Next up will be an article on the M116 Sporting Life issue, another beautiful set (in my mind at least) which is very under-appreciated and currently under-priced. |
