Pages from Baseball’s Past began as one of the longest running pre-game radio shows (26 seasons), and then there was a subscription print version for 17 years until I finally let that form go at age 72. This site is the slow, steady transformation of the more than 1500 stories into an online archive. That transformation began in September of 2024, and I expect the conversion rate will be about 300 stories a year. We’ll see how that pace goes. This is a one-man operation, and I do not mistake this endeavor for either my job or my life.
The site is free, relying on donations, and I deeply encourage you to do so for the most straightforward and admirable of reasons: it is deserved.
Everyone is a guest. No need to log on. I expect that to remain true as long as (A) the donations cover at least the minimal site-associated costs and the research services used in the transformation, and (B) folks behave themselves and don’t try to harm or exploit the access.
Best,
Craig R. Wright
