Origin of the pitching rotation
Peter Morris
King I
This presentation will examine the origins of the pitching rotation and explain why Cap Anson has been credited with this innovation despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary. In doing so, it will draw attention to a principle that every baseball researcher and historian should be mindful of: that baseball history is usually written from the perspective of the victors.
PETER MORRIS' first book, Baseball Fever: Early Baseball in Michigan, was the recipient of the 2004 Seymour Medal. His second book will be published next spring and will explore baseball firsts such as this one.
