lol - no, but I was a Special Education teacher for three years, so I'm pretty much the same way as you. I just wanted to get a rise out of you.

Not a problem... If you could, just point out which ones to me so I can go back & look them up... I already have them logged in a spreadsheet, so I never would've known...

Got these... Just so you know TexasLonghorns, Martin and Arana will debut in our next season, which is 1931, so Martin will be 25 and Arana will be 21... I'll adjust them a little further along so they should be on major league rosters right away...
