Diamond Decades Vol. 2 - Deadball Decades

The second volume in our series of memorable teams from baseball history now comes as pre-cut cards! This yearbook includes 16 of the most famous teams from the early years of 'base ball' from 1900-1919, when strategies like the bunt, the steal and the hit-and-run were in use as in no other time in history. These were the days of iron man pitchers throwing everything from fastballs to spit balls and scuff balls, and teams played in huge ballparks compared to today's fields. These factors helped make runs--especially via the long ball--hard to come by, so this set provides a fascinating contrast to today's high-scoring slugfests. Relive these early years of the sport with some of its legendary teams and stars, some whose records still stand today! We've included ratings for every player with at least 30 AB or 20 IP from each selected club (including many individualized pitcher hitting ratings), along with our exclusive team stats/lineup cards, team capsule summaries written by Replayers, and our optional ballpark effects.
