Protoball Stuff

Over the last few years, I've had the pleasure of contributing to Protoball, the best baseball history website that exists.  It's been fantastic getting to work with Larry McCray and others in building a site that I loved well before I was ever involved with it.  My contribution, in comparison to others, is rather puny but it's been fun and edifying.  And, as always, the work is ongoing.  


So that you know what's going on over there, here's links to some of my Protoball stuff:


Evolution or Revolution? A Rule-By-Rule Analysis of the 1845 Knickerbocker Rules

A Rule-by-Rule History Analysis of the Rules Adopted by the 1857 Convention of Base Ball Clubs
