Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A gentleman when the game was hard-bitten, played by rough-and-ready lads out to win whatever the cost....” Australia had few sporting heroes in the years preceding its federation in 1901. But before its 20th-century Olympic trailblazers, and Depression-era icons such as Phar Lap and Don Bradman, came an Australian sporting pioneer who was celebrated on the most glamorous stage in the world—American major league baseball. Joe Quinn’s story has long been lost in the land of his birth. This tale gallops from the deprivation of famine-ravaged Ireland through colonial Australia to the raucous ballfields of 19th-century America, with their unruly players and owners, brawls and adulation and backroom betrayals. Through 17 seasons in the major leagues, “Undertaker” Joe Quinn earned his place among the colorful characters who pioneered the modern game of baseball, as much for his ability to stand apart from their bad behavior as for his steadfastness on the field. Meet Australia’s first professional baseball player and manager, whose willingness to “have a go” in the grand Australian tradition will live long in the minds of sports fans on both sides of the Pacific.

Book Synopsis Baseball's Union Association by : Justin Mckinney
Download or read book Baseball's Union Association written by Justin Mckinney and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2022-11-16 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hastily formed in 1883 as a rival, third major league, the Union Association upset the moguls of the baseball world and disrupted the status quo. Backed by Henry V. Lucas, an impetuous 26-year-old millionaire from St. Louis, the UA existed for one chaotic season in 1884. This first full-length history of the Union Association tells the captivating story of the league's brief and enigmatic existence. Lucas recruited a wild mix of disgruntled stars, misfits, crooks, has-beens, drunks, and the occasional spectator--along with a future star or two. The result was a bizarre experiment that sowed both turmoil and hope before fading into oblivion.
Book Synopsis Baseball Rowdies of the 19th Century by : Eddie Mitchell
Download or read book Baseball Rowdies of the 19th Century written by Eddie Mitchell and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2018-07-11 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the 19th century, baseball was a game with few rules, many rowdy players and just one umpire. Dirty tricks were simply part of a winning strategy--spiking, body-blocking, cutting bases short or hiding an extra ball to be used when needed were all OK. Deliberately failing to catch a fly in order to have the game called due to darkness was also acceptable. And drinking before a game was perhaps expected. Providing brief bios of dozens of players, managers, umpires and owners, this book chronicles some of the flamboyant, unruly and occasionally criminal behavior of baseball's early years.
Book Synopsis Rowdy Patsy Tebeau and the Cleveland Spiders by : David L. Fleitz
Download or read book Rowdy Patsy Tebeau and the Cleveland Spiders written by David L. Fleitz and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2017-05-08 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In an era of rowdy teams, the Cleveland Spiders (1887-1899) were baseball's rowdiest. Managed by Oliver "Patsy" Tebeau, a quick-tempered infielder, the Spiders seemed to heap abuse of one kind or another on everyone--umpires, opposing teams, even the fans. Their aggression never brought home the pennant, but Cleveland's battles with the league's top clubs, including an 1895 Temple Cup victory over the Baltimore Orioles, are now legendary. Yet the story of the Spiders amounts to more than a 12 year free-for-all. There were top-flight players like Ed McKean, George Davis, Jesse Burkett, and Cy Young. There was the racially progressive signing of Holy Cross star Louis Sockalexis, the first American Indian in the major leagues. And then there was the team's final season, 1899, when a club ravaged by syndicalism set the standard for baseball futility.
