"He's as safe as the Bank of England."

"As the ball left his hand Cobb bounded over the ground like a startled deer. At the plate crouched Nunamaker. He was so surprised that he didn't know his own name. Cobb dashed through the air toward the scoring pan."

"He figured that if he didn't propel Tyrus home, Cobb would steal home, anyway, and cause the Yankees a lot of embarassment. So Wahoo Sam cracked out a single and Cobb walked home."

good stuff

Fascinating stuff! I read an article about the severe escalating in player salary's. This article was written in 1914!

The more things change, the more they stay the same.

To go along with what you said. Here's one from 1913 when Ty Cobb held out for more cash...replace Cobb with any modern superstar and it will apply...also, it's interesting to hear Detroit President Navin so candid.

I like how the boxscores display fielding statistics for each player. I wish that was still the default, though I do like RBI as well.

Just to add to the OP, articles from 1987 to the present are also free.

Thanks for the heads-up __________________ Well, I don't really think that the end can be assessed as of itself as being the end because what does the end feel like? It's like saying when you try to extrapolate the end of the universe, you say, if the universe is indeed infinite, then how - what does that mean? How far is all the way, and then if it stops, what's stopping it, and what's behind what's stopping it? So, what's the end, you know, is my question to you.
