Buck Ewing (1859-1906) was regarded by contemporaries as the
greatest catcher and all-around player of his era, though he is
virtually forgotten today. A lifetime .300-hitter, he played every
position on the diamond and led the league in fielding at two
different positions. The first hitter to reach double digits in
home runs, Ewing once stole six bases in a game, pioneered the snap
forearm throw to catch runners napping, averaged 35 steals a
season, and is the only catcher to lead his team in stolen bases
(53 in 1888). Off the field, Ewing's personality proved as
multifaceted as his playing skills. Considered both affable and
modest, he still received criticism from fellow players for
negotiating contracts directly with the National League and was
accused of faking injuries. This revealing biography provides a
detailed exploration of Ewing's life and career, shedding new light
on one of baseball's most talented and versatile players.
