Lanigan’s Baseball Cyclopedia Began From Slugging Records
Chicago born Lanigan began baseball writing with the Philadelphia Record in 1887 and, after illness sent him to the Adirondacks, added slugging and pitcher records to box scores. His pivotal move came when he convinced scorers to log winning and losing pitchers. In 1921 he revised a book only to restart entirely, producing Baseball Cyclopedia, a rare national reference. He continues seeking a complete history, with Harry Simmons as successor in the International League.
