Episode Notes

I want to introduce you to someone who is an historian, educator, vintage base ball player (yes, base ball is two words in vintage baseball), web developer, and contributor to the history of the 19th Century game.

His name is Chris Ryland, also known as “Books” to his Nashville Maroons teammates in Tennessee Vintage Baseball. His love of history and the vintage game have led him to interesting historical discoveries, too. Listen in!
