From 1965 till 1966 brought in BEAUREGUARD his valet and right hand man at ring side.

COLLINS fired BEAUREGUARD in December 1966 after being hit by BEAUREGUARD. The two feuded with each other in early 1967.

In 1969 through 1970, COLLINS used FRIDAY ALLMAN as his right hand man. FRIDAY was fired and feuded with COLLINS after spraying COLLINS with spray can causing COLLINS to lose his HAWAIIAN title to SAM STEAMBOAT.

Also in 1966 COLLINS teams with HANDSOME JOHNNY BAREND and are crowned HAWAIIAN TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS.

IN 1968 COLLINS & IAUKEA win the tag titles back and after losing their title to BILLY WHITE WOLF & PETER MAIVIA they feud with each other. COLLINS regains the HAWAIIAN tag titles in November 1968 with CARY LUKE GRAHAM. IN 1969: On New Year's Day COLLINS wrestles ED FRANCIS who comes out of retirement COLLINS insults him on tv by throwing him to the ground. Througout the year the two battle each other before sellout crowds. Also in 1969 COLLINS holds the HAWAIIAN tag title with three different partners: GRAHAM, KILLER BUDDY AUSTIN and teams with CURTIS IAUKEA again. At the end of the year on December 25th 1969 at the Honolulu International CENTER COLLINS teams with FRIDAY ALLMAN to do battle with FRANCIS and his son BILLY FRANCIS whom he attacked on KGMB 50th State Wrestling show.

Since half the league is in the thread, any comments about the league format so far? Good, bad or indifferent.

 
Love the format. Gentile kills me, although I knew he would be taken before I went 1B. Still hurts though. Not only nice slugging, but sweet OBP too. What a great season for a player almost no one has ever heard of.

Good...I like not knowing who the hell anyone is picking and having a cheatssheet that looks to be meaningfully different than 3/4s of the others.

Challenging to look stuff up if you don't have a good idea about who is in the HOF. I was suprised to find a few of the guys in the HOF I wasn't sure about but for the most part I've been on target. There are guys getting picked that I just didn't want, and others that are no surprise. For the most part though it's pretty easy to get 3 or 4 guys in the same range if you are targeting a position, or 3 or 4 guys you want in different places if you don't have your heart set on something. 2B looked like a good deep position and now it doesnt, I think we are gonna see several position runs in this formet.
 
So far I like it. There is going to be a lot of different teams out there. It is nice that at this point I really do not think anyone to really knows what their team is going to look like in the end and I think that is going to take some of the monotony out of this draft.

 
4.15 Roy Cullenbine, OF

I am going to have the worst pitch staff (& maybe D) but I feel pretty good about my 2-5 hitters.

Cullenbien 0.335/0.477/0.537

Cash 0.361/0.487/0.662

Joyce 0.355/0.496/0.648

Carty 0.366/0.454/0.584

 
I like the format but I really don't find it to be surprising at all. Except for the occasional bad fielder, most of the picks have been among my top 2 at their position (Daulton, Snuffy, Murcer, York, Gentile just in the last hour or so)

I'll be here another 45 minutes then off the grid most of the night... who doesn't pick in the top half that could take a list?

Glad to see I got in on the front end of the 2B run. :thumbup:

Grich is another guy i'd put in Cooperstown, though he's right on the edge for me.probably a good spot to comment on the "Hall of Very Good" title. I've never liked that phrase. All these guys were fantastic ballplayers, some of the very best of all-time. Yes, they may not be at the "inner circle" level, but they are more than "very good". just a quirk of mine.
