Okay Landsdowne - I have a request. This is a personal favorite of mine because of the story behind it. He became a cause celebre in the early days of SABR amongst the one-game crowd. Not surprisingly, there isn't a facegen of him (at least that I could see). It will take all your amazing powers to make a good one given the picture(s) of him that's on the internet but I have faith in you, bud.

His name is Claude Gouzzie and he played one game as a fill-in second baseman for the St. Louis Browns in 1903 against the Cleveland Naps.

It's personal because, despite my screen name, my family's roots are actually in SW Pennsylvania and Claude grew up in the town across the river from my family. I like to think that my great-grandfather saw him play shortstop in many no-doubt heated contests between Charleroi and Monessen.

There's plenty more biographical information on Claude for a good write-up. Just not a Facegen.

Thanks bud, and good luck!
