	Ed Delahanty
		Delahanty etched his name into the history books on July 13, 1896 when he became the second man in baseball history to hit four home runs in one game (all were inside the park).
		Delahanty's brother Frank believed foul play had been involved because Ed's tie had remained in place, but his diamond tie pin and rings were gone.
		Delahanty's death was officially ruled an accident, mainly because few believed the 70 year old Kingston would have been able to overpower the younger, stronger Delahanty even in a drunken state.

	Ed Delahanty/Dan Brouthers - Baseball Fever
		Delahanty played a couple hundred more games, and pretty much went out on top...or from the top(of a bridge) as the case may be.
		Delahanty looses some points for some big offensive years by his peers with the rule changes in 1893 to 60'6", but gains some back for his years in the no offense 1900's.
		Delahanty wins most of the counting stats, but none by a lot, and Brouthers actually leads in both HR and 3Bs....both figures compiled mostly before the rules change.

		One of the greatest of them was Ed Delahanty, an Irish slugger from Cleveland, who's perhaps remembered more for his harrowing death during his second season with the Washington Senators than for his feats on the ballfield.

Even in New York, exulted the Philadelphia Inquirer in 1899, Delahanty was a "royal favorite" with his "mighty cudgel." In 1899 he led National League hitters with an average of.408 for the Phillies.
		Delahanty was the marquee attraction for the Senators, then a small, struggling club in the new American League.

	About Us
		Big Ed Delahanty was one of the greatest hitters in baseball history, but his accomplishments have been overshadowed by the circumstances of his unusual death.

		Perhaps it is inexplicable, but Delahanty appears to have been a clueless man who needed others to tell him what to do and how to resolve his problems; these are the characteristics Casway stresses later in explaining how it happened that Delahanty signed a number of simultaneous contracts in 1902-03.
		Delahanty was removed from the train for abusive behavior, and from what information we have available it appears that he stumbled over railroad ties in an effort to elude the bridge watchman.
		Delahanty's arguably greatest significance was as a power hitter, when leading the league in doubles (which Delahanty did five times) was to batting what leading the league in home runs is today.

		Beyond the melodramatic circumstances of Delahanty's career and death, Jerrold Casway is interested in the extent to which Delahanty's countrymen dominated professional baseball in its early days.

		That very little is known of Delahanty beyond his ballplaying forces Sowell to focus that much more keenly on the environment surrounding Delahanty's death, rather than on Delahanty-the-Man. It's an intriguing approach, and Sowell has done exhaustive research.
