Favorite Sites

These are some of my favorite baseball related web pages.  As you will see if you follow the links most of them are history related.  They all have some interesting content and I hope you find something you didn't know was out there.

The primary purpose of this site is to introduce you to Alexander Joy Cartwright, a man who can justifiably claim the title of "Father of Base Ball"

The Library of Congress has quite a collection of items that any baseball fan would enjoy.  I got to spend a day in their Prints and Photographs Division recently, talk about a kid in a candy store.  This link will take you to a pretty incredible collection of baseball cards.

Deacon and Knickers are founding members of the Colorado Vintage Base Ball Association.  They usually have something interesting going on, like a recreation of Alexander Cartwright's trip west in 1849.

Rube and Old Hoss are twin brothers who happen to be very good base ball players.  I had the pleasure of going on a barnstorming tour with them in 1997 that covered 4 states in 10 days.
