Alexander Cartwright: The Life Behind the Baseball LegendAlexander Joy Cartwright Jr. (1820 92) was present during the organization of the Knickerbocker Base Ball Club of New York in the mid 1800s. That much is certain. Since that time, Cartwright has been celebrated as the founder of our national pastime, much like Abner Doubleday.

Alexander Joy Cartwright Jr. (1820-92) was present during the organization of the Knickerbocker Base Ball Club of New York in the mid-1800s. That much is certain. Since that time, Cartwright has been celebrated as the founder of our national pastime, much like Abner Doubleday. As with Doubleday, however, Cartwright's claim to fame has also spawned all sorts of conjecture and controversy. His complex life, not just the mythography surrounding him, comes clearly into focus in Monica Nucciarone's biography of the incomparable Cartwright.Nucciarone traces Cartwright's path from Elysian Fields in New Jersey to a gold-rush adventure in California, and on to Honolulu, where he became involved in the movement to annex Hawaii to the United States. Beginning with the widely held notion that Cartwright created the game of baseball as we know it today, then spread it across North America to Hawaii like a Johnny Appleseed, Nucciarone's book separates fact from speculation. Although the picture that emerges may not be the Alexander Cartwright of legend, it shows us a man as colorful, complicated, and immense in character as any legend he inspired.

Holy dreams Batman!
Flavor Name: Peppermint
This product is so good I had to come back to review it! I originally got this for my daughter since she has terrible insomnia, but she hated the minty taste...so I started taking them along with my husband and wow is all I have to say! It makes me tired and I’ve been having the craziest dreams (I usually never dream or remember them)! Definitely recommend and I actually really like the flavor.

Not fast dissolve. After 20 minutes, it still sits beneath my tongue.
Flavor Name: Peppermint
This is definitely not fast dissolving tablets. My B12 and biotin sublingual tablets dissolve in a couple of minutes but these pills last over 20 minutes.

Good supplement for uric acid support
My dad has been using this support supplement for uric acid for a while and I thought it was a good option. The ingredients feel of quality and are easy to take, as the capsules are of adequate size and do not cause stomach discomfort.
I like that it is also focused on kidney support and that it does not have a strong taste or noticeable side effects in my case. It is a convenient alternative to complement a balanced diet and healthy habits.
The value for money is good and the packaging performs a lot. In general, I am satisfied with the product and would buy it again.

Great gout relief!
Great ingredients, great price and very effective product. I have gout and had frequent very painful gout attacks, at least several times a year for the past 5 years. By taking the Uric Acid Support Formula in the past year and a half, 2 tablets per day as instructed on the bottle, when I feel an attack coming on, I’ve been able to stop a full attack several times, and have had less than 4 full blown attacks since I began using it. In all fairness, I do also increase my water intake, and often add a celery seed tincture, and simply my diet. Still, adding this Uric Acid formula in conjunction with the other regimes I mentioned has greatly decreased both the amount and severity of gout attacks.
