[A Ball Player’s Career by Adrian C. Anson]@TWC D-Link bookA Ball Player’s Career CHAPTER X 4/9
As a cricketer he ranked among the best in the country.
Retiring from the ball field, he became a dealer in sporting goods at Boston, Mass., where he still is, and where he is reported to have "struck it rich." Andrew J.Leonard, a product of the Emerald Isle, was brought up in New Jersey, and excelled as an outfielder, being a splendid judge of high balls, a sure catch, and a swift and accurate long-distance thrower.
He was a good batsman and a splendid base runner, and was nearly as good a player on the infield as in the out.
He is at present in Newark, N.J., where he is engaged in business and reported as fairly successful. Cal C.McVey, the heavy-weight of the team, came like myself from the broad prairies of Iowa, and was built about as I am, on good, broad Western lines.
He was a fairly good outfielder, but excelled either as a catcher or baseman.
