1935 Prospect Watch:
ALASTAIR "H.R.H." WINDSOR

It's not every day that we get to scout a member of the Royal family of England, but Prince Alastair, or "Al" as he prefers to be called in the States, is not your average royal. The prince has spent the last 8 years in Massachusetts, first at a boarding school in Cambridge, and later moving on to Harvard, graduating with a master's degree in Philosophy, and an obsession for the American game of baseball. During his time in college, he played four years as the starting centerfielder for the Harvard Nine. With the recent rise in violence in his home country and the increase in fascist sympathisers (most notably Oswald Mosley's Blackshirts), his grandfather, King Arthur I of England, has deemed that he would remain safe if he stayed in the United States for the time being...and if his grandson wants to spend a little time "playing a game", then all the better. Luckily for the pros, this kid is pretty damn good.

WINDSOR It's not every day that we get to scout a member of the Royal family of England, but Prince Alastair, or "Al" as he prefers to be called in the States, is not your average royal. The prince has spent the last 8 years in Massachusetts, first at a boarding school in Cambridge, and later moving on to Harvard, graduating with a master's degree in Philosophy, and an obsession for the American game of baseball. During his time in college, he played four years as the starting centerfielder for the Harvard Nine. With the recent rise in violence in his home country and the increase in fascist sympathisers (most notably Oswald Mosley's Blackshirts), his grandfather, King Arthur I of England, has deemed that he would remain safe if he stayed in the United States for the time being...and if his grandson wants to spend a little time "playing a game", then all the better. Luckily for the pros, this kid is pretty damn good.
