Clips Intro Draft 1 Lawrence McCray Lawrence McCray;

​This data base includes selected clippings from Nineteenth Century news sources. Systematic searches can be performed on Protoball's "Enhanced Search" page.

The heart of this data base has been contributed in early 2020 by Richard Hershberger, as a very happy side-product of his years-long march through 1800s news sources (he's now up to the year 1890) in search of items that reveal something about the early evolution of baseball. His dogged and delightful tour has so far produced a book, Strike FourBold text, many published papers, and several other write-ups found on the "Original Analytic" collections on protoball.org.

Richard, a discerning contributor to SABR's 19CBB list-serve, also actively posts about the history of baseball on Facebook. He has rapidly moved to the first ranks of researchers on the evolution of baseball through the Origins Era and beyond.

As Richard's suggestion, Protoball will gladly accept additional clippings from other researchers. Some will be copied from the game entries provided by the late Craig Waff. If you run into news coverage that sparkles and/or reflects the currents in baseball's history, please add them to Richard's brilliant collection.
