Alerting all about the passing of Jules Tygiel. He was an outstanding scholar, an exemplar as a historian, a standard bearer for those of us who write on baseball history, and someone who was very giving of his time to younger scholars like myself. Jules read my book manuscript several times and gave a thorough and thoughtful critique. Whatever success my book “Playing America’s Game” has enjoyed is a credit to his gracefulness and wonderful spirit. I will not forget the tour of McCovey Cove and San Francisco he gave me during All-Star Game week. He will be missed.

 

best,
