1871 dynasty (waiting for OOTP5) GENEALOGY

Carlton · 02-23-2003, 01:09 AM

ok, I am getting logos, ballpark pics player pics...etc to start Baseball from its very first game to whenever...and since JWAYS FOB was so popular I thought even though its 1871, maybe others know their ancestors well enough (and this will become more popular when we hit the 40's to the present) that I can put them into my simulation.

So if anyone wants to participate just tell me in this thread...the players name, relationship to you (great-great-great uncle, grandpa etc...) what position he will play and what team (most will pick their favs or something close to their home)

when we get up to having your Dad or uncles and of course yourself in the game (most likely OOTP 6) then I will get more specific on talent and such.

I thought it be pretty cool anyways especially for yous guys who are big into their families history

The name tends to travel back in my family...

Edward Peterson, great-great-grandfather, starting pitcher, and the American League Boston team please. If not AL, then just give me Boston in some variety.

great thats one, but i am starting in 1871 so do you want me to wait until the Red Stockings come around?

Kelric · 02-24-2003, 02:43 AM

Sure, that'd work.

mwallstar · 02-24-2003, 03:03 AM

My Great Great Grandpa
Chuck Ames, Starting SP Left handed

Michael Xavier · 02-24-2003, 04:55 AM

John Rutherford Laffoon -- Great great uncle -- 3B -- somewhere around Louisville or Cincinnati

Lee Trover Todd -- 3rd Cousin -- SS -- no preference as to where he plays

metsgeek · 02-24-2003, 02:03 PM

Heinrich Kahle - Great Great Grandfather- SP born 1848
Karl August Kahle - Great Great Great Uncle- 1b born 1851

Either New York or Cleveland

Could you guys give me an approxiamite (sp?) year of their birth?

Want it to be semi-realistic

Kelric · 02-24-2003, 04:26 PM

1850ish - I don't remember if it was the late 40s or the early 50s though for my relative.

metsgeek · 03-10-2003, 02:54 PM
