Baseball's Dead Ball Era 1870s-1920s

Baseball during the dead ball era at the turn of the century was played in a rough and tumble style. The pitchers and infielders dominated every game as the dead ball made most balls hit stay in the infield. Base-runners would steam-roll into bases or slide with spikes flying high. Baseball was considered a contact sport not unlike our current football. Twenty years after he retired, Ty Cobb said, 'When I began playing the game was as gentlemanly as a kick in the crotch'.
