| Publisher Description: Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. It has often been said that first basemen are the hardest working players in baseball. The routine plays made by first basemen can determine the mood, speed and outcome of a game. This book examines the lives of the men considered to be the best to have ever played first base in America's favorite past time. From Cap Anson's induction into the Hall of Fame in 1939 to Eddie Murray's induction in 2003, first basemen represent eighteen of the baseball players honored in Cooperstown. Project Webster represents a new publishing paradigm, allowing disparate content sources to be curated into cohesive, relevant, and informative books.
