Cap Anson 3 by Howard W. Rosenberg PDF Summary

Book Description: This is the definitive book on trickery and dirty play in baseball for the sport's major league years through 1900. Like the other books in the Cap Anson series, it reflects the author's having accounted for close to all surviving newspaper reporting on 19th-century baseball on the subjects it tackles. That methodology allows author Rosenberg to present and weigh in on tricky and dirty play in that era like no other author can. Some of the early chapters are titled, "Intimidating the Batter," "Spiking" and "Playing Dirty at the Bases." The featured team is the 1890s Baltimore Orioles, a team famed for bending the playing rules. As a comparison point, in a long chapter toward the end, the tricky and dirty play focus is Chicago during Cap Anson's captain-managing tenure. The book's featured players are Anson, John McGraw (of Baltimore) and Mike "King" Kelly (of mainly Chicago and Boston). The first appendix contains a chronology of episodes where the ball was allegedly manipulated. The one other appendix, stemming from an off-the-field venture by McGraw and teammate Wilbert Robinson, drew news coverage for refuting the notion that the sport of duckpin bowling originated in Baltimore.
