Lets hope he's just as good as his dad was, incredibly hard as that may be.

Probably easier to have Don as a well-established veteran, if you're going to keep the reltinships going, otherwise if you push his birthday up he'd be like 42 when I'm born. Then again, he was like a dad to me after the divorce (never knew my biol. dad,), so why not, make him available for the ammy draft in this coming year.

canadiancreed · 09-26-2004, 12:44 PM

true, that's what happened with my guys (see Cecil Reed and Eric Slater for some examples)

Are you sure you don't want to call him "The Refrigerator"???

On another note, it looks like we have a few ancestors this year who are older than 18, and thus more developed.....right? Is that 3 or 4?

canadiancreed · 09-30-2004, 06:27 PM

Depending on their exact age (19 vs 24) they'll be more developed, yes. I'll have to check my spreadsheet, but this may be 4 actually. We even have 1 or 2 who are over 25, not to mention our "Jackie" who might be too.

Aha, I didn't even realize that. No, it's purely coincidence.

This is actually my grandfather, who is turning 79 on Saturday. In TWB time, he would be recently coming back from the war (he was actually on one of the ships that was attacked at Pearl Harbor).

Matt from TN · 10-01-2004, 10:19 AM

Houston "Snuff" Boler, Herbert "Wayne" Yordy, Harvey "Hangman" Gaunt, Wilford "Red Wood" Woodworth, Rufus "Nuclear" Nagel, Don "Buster" Myer, Label "Viffel" Sennelnekoff, William "Harold" Perry, Maximo "El Toro" Matamoros, Bob Finley, David & Danny Mau and Will Miller, Jr were added to the league for the 1947 season... I'm pretty sure this is the largest crop of ancestors ever, 13!

Next up are Whiskey Allen III (scprideandms), Irving "Mozart" Korr (DamnYankees), Abraham "Grumpy" Noel (ankhiel), Kenneth Whitt (bigjas), Boris "Dancing Bear" Zimyanin (THE GUT), Lex "Tanden Trekker" Tjeenk-Willink (fhomess) and Ray "Spud" Micks (haggis007) in 1948.

metsgeek · 10-01-2004, 10:36 AM

Wow!! Some of them will probably drop to the 2nd round! Sacrilege!

I just checked your long list of entries on the last page, and it looks like you don't have any more additions until 1964. You might be thinking of their birth years. Fred Reed was born in '46

I'm gonna wait a couple seasons before I decide to overflow my cup. 13 ancestors a year is too much.

Matt, can you give us a list of the number of ancestors coming in each year?
