The Fanning Archives

A supplemental channel to go along with the book "Gentleman Jim: The Baseball Life of Jim Fanning", which was set to release in 2026. There is so much that will never fit in the book, & we wanted to figure out a way for people to still see it.
Therefore, we've decided to periodically release media. We want to share Jim's history with the public because the book is a large scale, long and massive project.
So, this channel is dedicated to baseball history, through the career lens of Gentleman Jim Fanning. I want people to get out of this channel the feeling I used to have when I'd walk into his office as a kid. Sensational memories & an inviting feeling, with him ready to give you the tour of the room.
Unfortunately, Jim isn't here to give the tour anymore (he gladly would). But you'll still get the stories and the history from the baseball-obsessed kid who looked up to and loved his Dad and listened to everything he said. I'll do my best to relay some of those wonderful stories.
