The Big 4 in ’84 (1884)
Story of the 1884 Buffalo Bisons

Grover Cleveland:
“How’s my old friend Jimmy (Pud) Galvin? You know, he and I were good friends when I was a sheriff and mayor of Buffalo.”

“What do you (Cap Anson in 1885) imagine the American people would think of me if I wasted my time going to the ball game?”
