Looks like a great resource.  I see that they also have Baseball Magazine
(1908-1918), which should prove quite useful.  Here's a modest antedating
to start the ball rolling:

How the National League Champions Flivvered in the Big Series
Wm. A. Phelon, Baseball Magazine, December, 1916, No. 2, p. 16-28

from the strangest of positions: standing on his head and arching the ball
upwards—was given a lovely beating, and Foster finished in splendid
fashion, despite a crippled arm.
