Excerpt from Spalding's Official Base Ball Guide, Thirty-Second Year, 1908
Judging from the enormous sale of the first issue of the record we are convinced that this innovation has met the approval of the Base Ball public. The objections that have been urged against withholding the annual records and aver ages for the past season until the issuance of the guide in April, have been met and overcome by the publishing of the record book in January.
