My friend Leo Paneta publishes a daily report on historical events in baseball history.  This is an excellent source for daily trivia and for those pesky research reports one has to do in High School.

Sometimes in families sons are named after their father, and the custom is carried on from generation to generation. Yet, many of those descendents are often not aware of who the person was that they were originally named after. That is not the case with me. My name is Alexander Joy Cartwright, IV. I was named after my great-great-grandfather who designed the baseball diamond, and formed many of the rules still in use today by America's National Pastime..

This is a listing of public events I will be attending in 2007

"Mr. Baseball" is currently searching for descendants of the original New York Knickerbockers Base Ball Club, particularly from the 1840s. We would like descendants to contact us to tell the stories that have been told through the generations about their ancestors and/or any photographs that may still remain in their family.
