Don Mincher

I am replaying from 1962 as the expansion Colt .45s/Astros. I have tried to trade for a RL friend, Don Mincher. In the database it says Don was born in Huntsville (correct), Texas (not correct). Don was born in and still lives in Huntsville. Alabama. He has asked that we at least get his hometown correct.

That info comes from the Lahman db, they can be reached at baseball1.com

Even if OOTP changes it, it'll change back next year if Mr. Lahman has not updated his db.

Don Mincher? Left-handed firstbaseman for the twins, 60's? Glasses? If any of these are right I remember him well, lol. But then I remember Frank Bolling, too. Hello to Mr. Mincher and I honestly, somehow knew the Huntsville Alabama, part.

Frank had a brother Milt who played for the Red Sox and Senators

Sometimes he wore them, sometimes he didn't but here is a card with him wearing the glasses back in 1969.
