1882, St. Louis Brownstockings, Charles Comiskey is 5th from the left. I realize he was a Browns and not a Card, but a St. Louis baseball influence is a baseball influence 🙂 #stlcards #baseball #baseballphotography #baseballhistory

I get it sounds weird but with the recent passing of Beach Boy Brian Wilson, for whatever reason I think of the eccentric baseball great Rube Waddell, I think they kind of look alike and may have both been on the Autism spectrum, which helps me kind of think of how Rube may have come across in his time. #stlouis #baseball #baseballhistory #baseballphotography #stlcards

Rube Waddell was an imposing figure on the mound, standing at 6’1” and weighing around 210 pounds, which made him a towering presence by the standards of his time. As a left-handed pitcher, his size combined with a deceptive, explosive delivery gave him a distinct advantage. His fastball was known for its speed and movement, and his so his legacy between the lines was for striking out batters #stlcards #baseball #baseballhistory #baseballphotography

This is very important. Not at all ancient history -- very much in living memory. When he says he could've been killed, it is not an exaggeration. #baseball #baseballhistory #blackhistory #reggiejackson #mlb #negroleagues #williemays

Tom Peace, historian at Huron College at Western University, discusses the first recorded baseball game, played, not in the US, but in Beachville, Ontario. He also speaks to "the Cooperstown myth" and the game as it existed in the mid-19th century.
