I am a big Honus Wagner fan and want to know how I can get information on George Aston a childhood friend of Honus' who reportedly served as the first Black trainer for the Pirates in the 1900's?

From the exert, it doesn't sound like they were childhood friends but that Aston met Wagner while caddying for him

I too am a big fan of The Flying Dutchman.
There's a bit of history on him here in Louisville at the Slugger Museum. They carried a book called Honus Wagner: The Life of Baseball's Flying Dutchman, I do not recall the author, but you should find something on the web.
