About This Item
Michigan: Tile Books, 2003. 1st. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. 394 pages, hardcover with dust jacket. First in a series of baseball books to piece together the vast newspaper record of the nineteenth century. Mild rubbing and edgewear to dust jacket. Slight cocking to spine. Unmarked. Bright and clean; a tight copy. While Anson's greatest success was in being the lone player before 1900 to reach 3,000 hits, Cap Anson 1: When Captaining Meant Something: Leadership in Baseball's Early Years, examines him through his managerial and captaining roles with Chicago's National League team (the White Stockings, later known better as the Colts, before they became the modern-day Cubs) from 1879 to 1897. The book also compares Anson to other captain-managers of his day, and Chicago to contemporaneous teams with divided management: those with a combination of captains and bench managers.
