Records, perhaps, that are not known to the generation of today have been given the greatest consideration, and this little volume, the reader must admit, holds every con- ceivable record one would care to know in the well- known sports. It has eliminated the con- sultation of dozens of books, some rather incomplete inso- far as fulfilling the purposes for which they are meant. Every record herein con- tained is authentic and accu- rate, having been obtained from sources which are affiU- ated very closely with that very sport. If the reader obtains as much enjoyment and pleasure from the perusal of Sport-Cyc as the author had in compil- ing same, the purpose of this little volume will not have gone amiss. The Author — ——. 7 INDEX BASEBALL Page World's Pitching Records Most games pitched during a season 17 Most games won during a season , . 17 Most games lost during a season 17 Highest percentage of games won 17 Most times at bat by opponents 17 Most innings pitched 17 Most hits by opponents 17 Hit most batsmen , 1 Most bases on balls in one season 18 Most bases on balls in one game 18 Strike-out records—game 18 Strike-out records—season 18 Most consecutive shut-out innings 19 Most consecutive games won season....

Stating the obvious, the mid-1800s were much different than today. So much has changed and we see ourselves as somehow different from the people that lived then and, thus, removed from the era. It’s not just the advances in medicine, science and computers, the automobile, tall buildings, electronics, digital communication and the 24-7-365 instantaneous media. It is also true of the sport – base ball, then a two-word phrase.
