I still enjoy this Eck!

To join our interests for a moment:

John L Sullivan in 1914 on Baseball in this era.

"In many respects I do not think baseball of to-day is any better than it was thirty years ago. It has improved in finesse, of course, but I do not think it can boast of any more skillful individual stars. I still think Charley Radbbourne the greatest of pitchers, and I would like to see a better catcher than Buck Ewing, Charley Bennett, or the famous King Kelly."
