Boston Star Pitcher Rudolph Almost Sold to Cincinnati
In 1912 Dick Rudolph nearly joined Cincinnati after Tinker bought him from Toronto. A rival telegram warned he was sick and unable to make the big leagues, but George Stallings later secured Rudolph for Boston. Rudolph, who rose in the International League, forebore suit after the World Series outcome. The column weaves anecdotes about players like Evers, Bender, Magee, and Tim Jordan, recounting baseball lore from that era.
