About U.S., Baseball Questionnaires, 1945-2005
This collection is comprised of self-completed surveys of professional baseball players from 1945-2005. The forms may include such information as:
- Full Name
- Nicknames
- Position
- Self-reported Ancestry
- Birthplace and Date
- Residence
- Height and Weight
- Batting and Throwing Handedness
- High School and Graduation Year
- College Information
- Sports Played in School
- First Professional Club
- Off-Season Occupation
- Scout
- Memories
- Military Service Details
- Family Details
- So I thought this may be of interest to die hard fans or if anyone had relatives that played.
