Minor League Contract Purchased at Age 10?

edit

According to the cited newspaper article, Delahanty's minor league contract was purchased for $1,900 in 1877. According to this article, he was born in 1867, meaning he was 10 years old at the time. Can anyone make sense of this? 70.174.128.14 (talk) 13:49, 9 August 2015 (UTC)Reply
