	Why I Like Baseball, by Cecilia Tan
		Tinker Field was built on land that was once his, but I could not find the date that the field took on his name.
		Tinker Field's pedigree is not quite so laden with miracles and historic moments as Yankee Stadium's--but then maybe no site in sports history is. I am using Yankee Stadium as a point of comparison to Tinker Field because of their similarities, not their differences.
		Tinker Field stands empty now, the minor leaguers gone, lured to a snazzy and wonderful facility at Disneyworld (and set to move to Montgomery, Alabama in 2004), the major leaguers now spending their springs in Fort Myers.

	The Ballplayers - Joe Tinker \| BaseballLibrary.com
		Tinker was immortalized in Franklin P. Adams's verse, "Baseball's Sad Lexicon," better-known, although incorrectly so, as "Tinker to Evers to Chance." An intelligent, smooth-fielding, mediocre-hitting shortstop, Tinker and second baseman Johnny Evers, first baseman Frank Chance, and third baseman Harry Steinfeldt formed one of the better defensive infields of the day.
		Tinker had an aggressive, spirited playing attitude, but otherwise was quite an innocuous character.
		Tinker went on to become president and manager of Columbus (American Association), and bought controlling interest in the Orlando Gulls (Florida State League) in 1921.

		Tinker, short by Logan's standards at 11 tracks, showcases some mighty tasty material recorded with ex-Liquor Cabinet guitarist and long-time Logan crony Kelly Keneipp and a slew of similarly talented fellow Georgians.
		Tinker may not boast the insolent overload of Bulk, the immediacy of Mood Elevator or the sublime mystery of Little Private Angel, but it's vintage Logan nonetheless; a plump, satisfying collection of tunes that rock the body and roll the cerebellum.

	Elysian Fields Quarterly - The Baseball Review
		Tinker, along with Evers and Chance, was part of an excellent infield, but it was not one especially proficient at the double play: the trio never once led their league in this statistical category, nor even came in second.
		Joe Tinker's major league career ended with him managing the 1916 Cubs to a 67–86 record (he collected one final hit that season in limited playing time).
		As a protest against this practice, Tinker sent a pitcher to the mound with a file and had him openly work on the ball between batters.
