The Teammates.

In 1907, there were no minor league affiliations between the majors and the National Association of Professional Baseball (now known as Minor League Baseball), as there is now. But for the purpose of this story, the affiliations began in 1907 instead of in 1922 like in real life. William Ronaghan has been assigned to the Hartford Senators of the Connecticut League, a Class A team in the NAPB and an affiliate of the Red Sox.

On his team are six players who made debuts in the Red Sox orginization in the next three years, when I expect William to debut.

Smokey Joe Wood: A 17 year old pitcher/outfielder from Kansas City, Missouri, he is the most well-known of the players on the Senators 1907 squad. He is hard thrower who has a great chance to have a great career ahead of him. In real life he was derailed by injuries in the mid 19-teens and was forced to move from pitcher to outfield and eventually into retirement. He is a good guy and was a fan favorite and an important member of the Boston community, even after his injuries, so that will be reflected in this story.

George "Duffy" Lewis: The only other well-known member of the Senators. The left fielder is a great fielder with some speed, a great arm, and solid batting skills, and also has some pitching talent. He is from San Francisco.

Ben Hunt:One of the other starting pitchers for the Senators, only pitched one season for the Boston Red Sox. The Oklahoma native has a chance to have a better career in an alternate reality. Like Ronaghan, he is only 18 years old.

Ed Hearn:The 18 year old starting shortstop for the Hartford 9, he only had two at bats in one major league season for the Boston Red Sox in 1910. He is a California native.

Hap Myers: Another 18 year old starter, this time the centefielder for the team. A slick fielding, speedster, with few other skills, could have a solid career as a Red Sox (or other team) reserve. He played 5 years in the majors in that role.

Ralph Pond: The 18 year old rightfielder from Wisconsin makes up the Seantors starting outfield. He played in only one major league game.
