[Philadelphia vs. Chicago 8/28/1886] [regarding Anson’s initial refusal to allow an injured Phillies player to retire] There seems to be a disposition among a good many people to criticize Capt. Anson for his refusal to permit the change of catchers, and blame him for the entire delay. This is entirely wrong. Base ball is played on its points, and the element of sentiment or chivalry does not and should not enter into the question in any shape whatever.
