The old Eastern Shore League in a Day


Despite producing four Hall of Famers and numerous other major league talents, very little is written about the Eastern Shore Baseball League (defunct since 1949).  A quick Google search gets you only a few relevant hits, interspersed among a plethora of links for present-day little league and high school teams.  Amazon.com boasts two books (one of which is in stock), while the Wikipedia page consists of a terse paragraph followed by a quick list of teams.  In other words, you can't find much on the Eastern Shore League through the internet or books.  If you want to learn about it, you need to go see it for yourself... or at least what remains.  Once you're in the area, you can pretty much do it all in one very full day.
