	Amazon.com: Books: John McGraw
		John McGraw dominated the landscape of baseball from 1890 until 1933.
		McGraw's career is a story of two baseball eras: its rowdy early days and the cool, corporate operations of post-World War I. McGraw's constant umpire baiting, penchant for inspiring either hatred or loyalty, and bond with star pitcher Christy Mathewson through many championship years, reveal a fiery, dictatorial, and brilliant man. Highly recommended.

	A Sports Replay of the Century
		But when you look at sports in this country it was the 20th century that really shaped so many of the games we enjoy to watch, play, or simulate with our cards and dice or computers.
		I decided to combined the years 1900-19 together into a single group because the games available that could accurately simulate the sporting events of that time are limited, as is the statistical information for that period.
		I thought what better way to remember the great sporting moments of the 20th century then to use some of the various game and replay them.
