Thanks for the list - there were some i'd never heard of, some i'd forgotten and some who probably should remain forgotten !!

i'm sad about mighty joe quinn and his negative rcaa - it looks like his terrific 1890 season was for all for nothing (i say this tongue in cheek of course). i was glad, however, to see Shipley's rcaa wasn't too bad seeing he hung around playing not many games for a lot of years - his family was big in aussie baseball for many years - he and nilsson have done a lot to raise the baseball profile down here.
