McBane keeps busy writng

Dick McBane kees busy writing. The latest SABR (Society for American Baseball Research) publication is entitled Inventing Baseball: The 100 Greatest Game of the Nineteenth Century. My contribution is the game of June 26, 1881, with Akron at Louisville. The piece is titled "Mullane vs. Reccius for Eighteen Innings." Tony Mullane of the Akrons and John Reccius of the Louisvilles both pitched the entire game which was called due to darkness at the end of the 19th inning as a 2-2 tie. Alas for the error in the headline. Whatever happened to proof readers?


    I don't see anything in my copy of the book that gives instructions on where or how to obtain a copy, but I understand it is available both in print and by electronics. Presumably contacting www.sabr.org gets you to the website that would have the pertinent information.
