In 1916, over 500 men played in a major league game. Many of those
players' names are inseparable from baseball - 39 are members of
the Hall of Fame - while others have only one line in the record
books. Some enjoyed highly productive careers after leaving the
game; others lacked the temperament, skills or opportunities to
find success after baseball. This book is the first to focus on a
representative group of major leaguers, the Class of 1916, in
seeking answers to the questions Who was the average major leaguer
in the late deadball era? What was his background? and What became
of him when his playing days ended? Introductory chapters offer
background information on the era and discuss the 1916 season;
provide information on the players' ethnic and geographic origins,
ages, and average physical sizes; chart player performance; and
summarize post-playing careers and mortality statistics for the
group. The main body of the work, a biographical dictionary, is
arranged alphabetically, and each entry includes career and
biographical information, statistics, post-baseball accomplishments
and death. Many rare photographs accompany the text.
