Bump Bailey
Ok so he didn't run into a wall and die but missing most of the season and being the Wally Pipp of the ABF might be enough. (clone of Kiki Cuyler, i also kept Cuyler's FG event though i think I have a Bailey FG by Dreamteams)

1940 Milestone Watch
Earl Gray has a good shot at getting 3000 Hits.Jimmie Foxx should easily hit his 400th HR. Babe Ruth has an outside shot at getting 900 HR, he needs 91.
Satchel Paige could become the 3rd ABF SP with 5000 K, joining Big Train & Big Six. Impressive since he played his 1st 5 season in the PCL. At 38 he shows no signs of slowing down.
