He is known as "the father of professional baseball," having been responsible for fielding the first pro team (the Cincinnati Red Stockings), for designing the baseball uniform still worn today, and for design-ing the first scorecard. .

A hugely important piece of which only the truest base-ball scholar is worthy.
