"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.
