Andrew Schiff’s interview with Gary Schiappacasse about Henry Chadwick was posted two days ago for the Vintage Base Ball Association.
Henry Chadwick is credited for developing sports journalism and promoting the game of baseball.
Henry Chadwick (October 5, 1824 – April 20, 1908) was an English-American sportswriter, baseball statistician and historian, often called the "Father of Baseball" for his early reporting on and contributions to the development of the game. He was posthumously inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 1938. Wikipedia. https://t.co/SbZ8oSyOz9
