Research/background credits
- The Minor League Encyclopedia, Vols. 1 & 2, proofreading and fact-checking;
- The 1923 Negro National League Yearbook by Replay Publishing, research and writing;
- The Negro Leagues Book by SABR, some background work;
- The Professional Baseball Players Database software produced by Pat Doyle, programming and fact-checking;
- I received credit in Total Baseball VI for submitting biographical and statistical corrections (Bill Kenworthy and Jack Enzenroth).
I contribute mostly to Negro League entries, and those involving Kansas City teams. My main expertise is in some aspects of the Negro Leagues, the 1915 Federal League, and some teams of the the 1884 Union Association.
BTW, "Couillaud" (pronounced KOO-yo) is a family name from my French Canadian heritage.
I am adding articles on the post-1953 East-West games in the Negro Leagues, and occasionally short biographical articles on players and others from that era.
I am also slowly building articles on the Negro World Series of 1924-27 and 1942-48. The article on the 1942 Series was mostly mine, and was a featured article for awhile. As part of my ongoing research of that entire season, I have posted a chronology of the 1942 season.
