Bibliography
Baseball has evoked more written words than any other sport, yet it can be difficult to obtain this material if you’re on limited funds and geographically removed from big city libraries (as I was). There are at least three books worth investing in, all of which proved to be invaluable resources for every chapter of this project. Any serious baseball researcher (or fan) should obtain a copy of The New Bill James Historical Baseball Abstract. In it, baseball’s premier historian ranks more than 100 players at each position while offering more than 1,000 pages of fascinating (and sometimes bizarre) material. Also of great worth are David Pietrusza’s Baseball: The Biographical Encyclopedia and David Neft’s The Sports Encyclopedia: Baseball 2000. Pietrusza and two associates compiled informative essays on 2,000 of the game’s most influential people, and Neft has been publishing his tome every year since 1974. Each edition includes detailed stats and text summaries of every season up to the year of publication. I personally find this to be the most useful resource outside the Internet.
For those on a shoestring budget, the Internet provides a host of useful baseball sites, most of which are free. Retrosheet is the ultimate site for box scores. Ballparks of Baseball contains volumes of information about stadiums past and present. My hands down favorite is Baseball-Reference. It offers the same stats and splits as Retrosheet but also includes thumbnail bios for nearly every player who ever put on a uniform and provides extensive minor league information. Baseball-Almanac lacks the biographical aspect but makes up for this with umpire listings, rule changes, all-star games, all-time record holders, and timelines of significant events. The definitive authority on timelines, without a doubt, is Charlton’s Baseball Chronology. Compiled by a group of fifty researchers and first published in 1991, it is now available online free of charge at a site known as the Baseball Library. The chronology dates all the way back to 1791 and extends to the present day.
A host of valuable biographical details can be obtained from player obituaries, and The Deadball Era is the place to go for this. Maintained by author and baseball aficionado Frank Russo, the site also includes entertaining essays on various topics of interest. The Society for American Baseball Research (SABR) has an ongoing biography project that can be accessed for free at sabr.org/bioproj. At the time of this writing, there were nearly 2,000 bios available. Interestingly, many SABR authors have chosen lesser-known players, which makes this an extremely useful reference.
For vintage material, the LA84 Foundation has a searchable database of various baseball publications, the most prominent being Baseball Magazine and Sporting Life, both of which are often quoted in my work. The Library of Congress offers online copies of Spalding’s Official Baseball Guides. The collection is a bit sparse, but the material is quite useful. Time magazine has a website with archival material, which is always well-written. For newspapers, the U-Penn Libraries site has various periodicals listed by state dating back to the early days of journalism. Although many pages are on a pay-per-view basis, a vast majority are free. Similarly, Chronicling America is sponsored jointly by the National Endowment for the Humanities and the Library of Congress. The site can be somewhat challenging to search, but it offers more than four million digitized newspaper pages dating from 1836 to 1922.
The flowing is a listing of primary sources for the various chapters of this book.
