Base Ball Pioneers 1850-1870
It was a privilege and an honor to be a part of Peter Morris' Pioneer Project. My contribution consisted of writing the St. Louis chapter and telling the story of the Cyclone, Morning Star, Union and Empire clubs and the players that made up those clubs.

Major League Baseball Profiles Volume 1 and Volume 2
The truth of the matter is that I've been lucky to have been involved in some really fantastic collaborative projects over the years and David Nemec's biographical encyclopedia project was one of those. David's vision was to put together short biographies of every 19th century player, manager, umpire and magnate and he was able to produce a fantastic reference work. A few of my contributions made it into each volume.

The Rank and File of 19th Century Major League Baseball
This one's my favorite. It's essentially Major League Baseball Profiles Volume 3 and contains a lot of the stuff David couldn't fit into the first two books. The reason it's my favorite is because it has my biography of Packy Dillon in it. Dillon is, without a doubt, my favorite 19th century baseball player and the bio I wrote for him is probably the best work I've ever had published. It was a joy to research, a joy to write and it turned out great. I'm really proud of that piece.
