Never ceases to amaze me on the obscure people who played in the early days of baseball. I never heard of Jim Tipper until tonight

James "Jim" Tipper (June 18, 1849 – April 21, 1895) was a professional baseball player who played as an outfielder during his three
year career in the National Association. He played for three teams during his career, all based in the state of Connecticut: his hometown
Middletown Mansfields in 1872, the Hartford Dark Blues in 1874, and the New Haven Elm Citys in 1875. He later played in several minor
league seasons; a Live Oaks team in Lynn, Massachusetts, a season for the Syracuse Stars in 1876, two seasons for the Rochester New York
team of the International Association, and one for the Manchester, New Hampshire team of the National Association.

Can you imagine if you could go back in time and tell a 30-something Jim Tipper that in about 130 years his name and baseball exploits would be recalled in a discussion over a computer (a what?) baseball game simulation?

I imagine he would give you a strange look and spit tobacco juice on your shoe.
