This book is the result of one man's twenty-year quest to solve
some of baseball's most enduring mysteries - the ""cold cases"" of
major leaguers about whom virtually nothing is known. (In many
instances, the various baseball encyclopedias list only their names
and one other word: ""deceased"".) Some of these mysterious players
had negligible professional careers and their time on a major
league diamond was more the result of good fortune than anything
else; others were stars in their day and then essentially vanish.
The Biographical Committee of the Society for American Baseball
Research is committed to finding them and award-winning researcher
Peter Morris tells the story of some of the most remarkable of the
searches that resulted, many of which featured twists so surprising
no mystery writer could have invented them.
