  Henry Chadwick
Chadwick, in his later years, recalled how he and his friends would "dig a hole in the ground for the home position, and place four stones in a circle, or nearly so, for the bases, and, choosing up sides, we went in for a lively time at what was the parent game of base ball."
Chadwick’s crusade to eliminate the bound catch was in his eyes, and perhaps the others who supported his stance, to make the game more “manly” and more “scientific.” His dual quest was both a reflection of the time and his background.
Chadwick railed against immorality and was the person that was responsible for creating the phrase: “the best interests of baseball.” Today, with steroids threatening the integrity of the game, echoes of Chadwick’s moralism can be heard from the past.

 The Ballplayers - Henry Chadwick | BaseballLibrary.com
Dec 26, 1874 - From Henry Chadwick's column in the New York Clipper (as noted by Bob Schaeffer): "A vile habit which some catchers are prone to indulge in is that of growling at umpires and disputing their decisions or ill-naturedly questioning their judgment.
Chadwick observes: "That which had up to this point been considered an optical illusion and against all rules of philosophy was now an established fact." But Chadwick will soon credit Candy Cummings with the discovery of the "crooked pitch." Goldsmith will win 20 or more games each year between 1880 and 1883.
Henry Chadwick writes‚ " these championship games are informal matches‚ there being no established rules for such contests‚ the title being one established by custom only." This particular game would be immortalized in the Currier and Ives print: The American National Game of Baseball.
