	Book Review: Cap Anson I
		Cap was a common enough nickname and it usually referred to a captain-manager something that baseball has not seen much of over the past 5 or 6 decades.
		Anson was among the longest tenured of these captains/player-managers to rule a team in the 18th Century and thus becomes the main focus of this book which centers not around his playing days but around the changing roles of captains, player-captain, bench manager, and managers.
		In the early years of baseball the captain was the authority on the field, it was he and not a manager that set the line-ups, positioned the fielders, applied the strategy and decided everything that happened from the moment the team reached the ballpark.
