Corriden saga linked to Cobb Lajoie rivalry in Meany book
In Tom Meany's Baseball's Greatest Hitters Corriden the Lollypop Kid is highlighted for his 1910 role in the Cobb versus Lajoie pursuit of the batting title. The piece recounts O'Connor’s control over Corriden, the Browns manager's harsh stance, and Corriden's later vindication in a tale that ties to a Cleveland showdown. It also covers local reports on Waterloo and Cedar Rapids games, umpire decisions, and other baseball notes from the Three-I league era.
