Original Characters

(Many new ones will be added as the story goes along)

William (Bill) Joseph Ronaghan: The main character of this story, born in West Hartford, Connecticut on March 12, 1889. He is the son of Joseph and Mary Ann Ronaghan. He is the youngest of seven children (Joseph, Michael, Thomas, Catherine, Ann, Bridget). Raised in a large, middle class, family in a small town outside of Connecticut's capital city (Hartford), his father worked at Aetna Insurance in Hartford and his mother taught at the town's high school, Charter Oak High. William always had a passion for sports, running track, playing football, basketball, and baseball. He was a star at Charter Oak High in track and baseball. William was invited at the age of 16 and 17 to play in the summer for the local minor league baseball team, the Hartford Senators, and played well in a mainly reserve role. At 18 he was asked to come to Trinity College to play for the team and attend the college, but turned down the offer only after recieving an invitation from Jimmy Collins to try out in Boston for the Red Sox. He was signed to a contract in 1907 and was assigned to the new minor league team, ironically the Hartford Senators. The 18 year old third baseman is a great fielder, with good speed, and is a terrefic hitter for average.

Joseph and Mary Ann Ronaghan: Both Irish immigrants in the 1870s, the two parents of 7 have lived in Connecticut for many years. Joseph is a hard worker who moved up the ranks in Aetna Insurance. Mary Ann is a kind and nurturing woman, who loves her job as a teacher. Joseph was always a baseball fan and encouraged his son throughout his career.

Thomas and Bridget Ronaghan: The closest Ronaghan children in age to William and the two who recieve the most attention in the story. Thomas is 19 in 1907 and Bridget is 18.

Michael, Catherine, Ann Ronaghan: The other brothers and sisters of William. Michael is 24, Catherine, 26, and Ann 23.
