So who is John Henry?

Was shopping a player around the other day and one of the players I was offered was a 21 year old 1.5 star SP named John Henry. Never would have looked twice at the guy except for his face gen. So who is he?

He was a steel-driving man.

That was one Hell of a horse. Sold for $1100, got his name from his habit of flattening steel buckets, became a legend. Grand total: 83 starts, 39 wins, 15 seconds, and 9 thirds with $6,497,947 in earnings and seven Eclipse Awards.

He was one of the most-loved horses in American history. You can't see the other words on the gravestone: "If tears could build a stairway, and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to Heaven, and bring you home again."

Five thousand thanks for a non-modder? I never thought I'd see the day. Thank you for your support.

There was also another John Henry who played between 1910-18, mainly for the Senators.

The one he is looking for is a pitcher.

Some players were horsier than others.

Now does it make more sense why I am asking?

If you haven't done any editing then it's neither of the players mentioned or the horse as the birthdates and such don't match, however I did notice setting up my Cup of Coffee league a few players info didn't match between OOTP and baseball reference.

That's the John Henry who is the owner of the Red Sox.
