Worst trade ever? Not Lou Brock for Ernie Broglio. My nominee: December 1900, Reds trade Christy Mathewson, just drafted from Norfolk, to the Giants for Amos Rusie, who has 246 wins behind him but none ahead. Matty, after three losses for Giants, has no wins behind but 373 ahead.

Base ball fever was sweeping the nation! Except for one place, Boise, ID, which declared that reports of base ball games were as exciting as delinquent tax lists and multiplication tables.
