1. Grab the nearest book.
2. Open the book to page 56.

Bresnahan became a catcher and outfielder and a disciple of the fiery, win-at-all-costs McGraw. Roger was a favorite of McGraw's and would manage the new players in spring training until McGraw and the veterans would report. In an effort to stay in the lineup more, Bresnahan developed shin guards and a chest protector for catchers.
