I'm reading Bill James' Guide To Baseball Managers and wanted to share this tidbit from an essay on advanced scouting.
[quote:28223f7069]
[quote:28223f7069]Baker, of the Athletics, is one of the most dangerous hitters I have ever faced, and we were not warned to look out for him before the 1911 world's series, either. Certain friends of the Giants gave us some "inside" information on the Athletics' hitters...but no one spread the Baker alarm.
--Christy Mathewson, [i:28223f7069]Pitching in a Pinch[/i:28223f7069], 1912, ghostwritten by Jack Wheeler[/quote:28223f7069]
Frank Baker hit two crucial home runs in the series, one off of Matty, to become "Home Run" Baker.

So, it appears that Joe Posnanski's blog was hacked and all of those links are not going to work. There are, however, archived posts at SI, so I will try to convert to those links, time permitting. Also, I want to incorporate this little project into Diamond Dope, somehow.

Another one about Dan Quisenberry

(All the Posnanski links--save the Bo Jackson article--should now point to si.com.)
