20 John Montgomery Ward and The Brotherhood War - a podcast by DoingBaseball

Eds answers back with the first part of his own Back 2 Back Episode Jack. Sean listens in to the story of John Montgomery Ward and his leadership through the formation of the Players League. A circuit meant to compete directly with the National League and to raise the status of players from mere employees to entrepreneurs.

The majority of this research came from an excellent essay by Ethan Lewis entitled "A Structure To Last Forever":The Players' League And The Brotherhood War of 1890. Please check it out below.
