Baum’s Road to Oz: Second Post (Baseball Woes)
The baseball team that L. Frank Baum was the secretary for had a rather unusual problem it seems (or perhaps not so unusual?). They failed, ultimately, because they were too good at the game. They won too much, so few teams wanted to play them and even fewer teams were willing to come to their home park to play, which meant travel and few profits. It was quite odd, but I could definitely see how it could lead to failure!
