The 3rd Annual Petition to get Gabby Street in Perfect League

HelpDodgers · 04-03-2021, 10:14 PM

Hi, I was hoping this year OOTP could get Gabby Street in Perfect Game.

Would mean a lot. I know he wouldn't have a good card; that's okay. Just want him as part of my teams.

He did get a vote or two for baseball Hall of Fame

Thanks.

I second that motion!

As a runner I always smile as I run down Gabby Street Boulevard.

HelpDodgers · 04-06-2021, 07:01 PM

I'll take that. Whatever it takes to get him in the game...

HelpDodgers · 04-14-2021, 09:47 PM

I even have his baseball card. So, if I prove this will a MOD make his card and add him?

stl jason · 04-14-2021, 09:54 PM

I'll sign the petition.

You can't build the original Springfield Nuclear Power Plant Softball Team without Gabby Street.

(next up, a petition for Jim Creighton)

If Jim Creighton is imported with power above 1 I am quitting this game forever!

Gabby Street ... sounds like the name of an MTV veejay

HelpDodgers · 05-05-2021, 05:59 PM

gotta bump this...

His 1908 season could make a good high iron or low bronze card.
From my reading on the deadball era, he was considered an above average defensive catcher. So he has that going for him as well.

HelpDodgers · 05-07-2021, 09:36 PM

thank you. for some reason the mods pay no attention to this

HelpDodgers · 05-18-2021, 05:03 PM

It's May 18, and still no mod will touch this thread with a 10 foot pole. Not like I haven't been asking for 3 years or anything.

I even private messaged a moderator who did not reply but no names named.

HelpDodgers · 05-22-2021, 05:05 AM

He once caught a ball dropped off the Washington Monument....

So he was Walter Johnson's catcher, very cool. Is he your ancestor?

brotherblues · 05-27-2021, 01:23 PM

He sounds like an "Unsung Hero" candidate

that would be amazing.

Street holds the record for the longest gap between Major League games - 19 years (1912–1931)

brotherblues · 06-02-2021, 10:22 AM

Maybe what he needed was a proper old timey nickname like Gabby 2 Shoes or something to really boost his popularity. Would probably be a diamond card then.

HelpDodgers · 06-03-2021, 01:30 PM

He did have a nickname

"The Old Sarge"

there is a big lower tier dump tonight, maybe he will make it.

HelpDodgers · 06-09-2021, 05:24 PM

I think they are not going to put Gabby Street in the game just out of spite.

Thanks OOTP
