In 1907, during a major league baseball game, second base was stolen 13 times by the winning team.  The catcher for the losing team, Branch Rickey, was unable to pick off even a single runner.  That record stands to this day.  It also spelled the end of Rickey’s career as a baseball player after just two short seasons.  With nothing else to do, he went to college and law school.

David McCullough wrote: “I very much like and support what you’re doing with The Concord Review. It’s original, important, and greatly needed, now more than ever, with the problem of historic illiteracy growing steadily worse among the high school generation nearly everywhere in the country.”
