The Rank and File of 19th Century Major League Baseball: Biographies of 1,084 Players, Owners, Managers and Umpires

With this volume, David Nemec completes his remarkable trilogy of 19th-century baseball biographies. It provides in-depth information on those figures unnoticed by most historians, men noted in the historical record only by last name, or not at all. Each entry includes vital statistics, peer-driven analysis of baseball-related skills, and an overview of the individual's role in the game.
