:lmao:Double hairy at that. Oh, and I have two crooks in my pitching staff, too.
 
This is how things are shaping up so far for the Pelicans:

Code: 
HITTERSOF O'Doul, Lefty (L) .379/.450/.601   3B Foxx, Jimmie (R)  .356/.460/.740   1B Mize, Johnny (L)  .344/.440/.624   OF Kiner, Ralph (R)  .310/.429/.654   OF Snider, Duke (L)  .339/.420/.635   PITCHERS        LHP Guidry, Ron 272 IP 1.76 ERA .194 OAV 0.95 WHIP 0.40 HR/9 2.36 BB/9 8.43 K/9LHP White, Doc  236 IP 1.84 ERA .221 OAV 0.98 WHIP 0.15 HR/9 1.84 BB/9 4.27 K/9
The hitters so far will normally be the 2-6 guys in the order, or sometimes 3-7 depending on how things break.
 
Ed Delahanty, OF Senators

ETA: MY BAD. Thought it was 1901 cut off. Repicked with Goose Goslin. Was going back and forth between them in any case. Worse D, but get SBs.

Big Ed had a really bad 1903 season

Despite his continued on-field success, however, by the end of the 1902 season Delahanty's personal life was beginning to unravel, as his wife, Norine, became ill, and Delahanty squandered the couple's financial resources by gambling on horses and binge drinking. Looking to pay off his mounting debts, Delahanty signed a three-year contract with the New York Giants, reported at either $6000 or $8000 per season. The deal also included an advance on his salary for $4000.

However, the contract was never fulfilled. Prior to the 1903 season, the leagues agreed to honor each other's contracts, with the result that Delahanty's deal with the Giants was declared void and the rights to his contract were returned to Washington. Even worse news for Delahanty, he was ordered to pay back the $4000 advance he had already received. Since Delahanty's 1903 contract with Washington called for a salary of $4500, of which $600 had already been advanced, the ruling effectively cost the already cash-strapped Delahanty $100 to play the 1903 season for the Nats. For a man suddenly on the brink of personal and financial ruin, it was the worst possible outcome. A few days prior to the start of the 1903 season, Delahanty ended a lengthy holdout when Washington agreed to pay the $4000 he owed New York, but in return, $2000 per year would be deducted from the slugger's salary in 1903 and 1904. Even after reporting, however, Delahanty continued to seek opportunities to jump from the Senators, including a dalliance with Denver of the Western League which never came to fruition.

Upon his return to the Senators, Del was out of shape and soon injured his back and ankle. Washington manager Tom Loftus sent him to a health spa in Michigan to shape up, and he rejoined the team on May 29. Though he continued to bat well upon his return to the lineup, posting a .333 average in 156 at bats, Delahanty feuded with Loftus, who ordered him to play right field, while Del adamantly insisted that he only play left. Amidst the turmoil, Delahanty's drinking again increased, and his behavior became more erratic. He started giving away precious keepsakes, including his gold watch, to teammates, and it was even rumored that he had once attempted suicide by turning on the gas in his room in Washington. Prior to embarking on a lengthy road trip with the Senators on June 17, Delahanty took out a life insurance policy on himself, naming his daughter Florence as the beneficiary. On June 25, Delahanty played the last game of his career in Cleveland. When the following morning's newspapers reported that NL President Harry Pulliam had decided to violate the nascent peace agreement by allowing contract-jumping shortstop George Davis to play for the Giants, Delahanty presumably saw his opportunity to finally join the New York club. He abandoned the Senators that morning and went on a drinking binge which left him angry, disoriented, and in no condition to play. He reportedly threatened to kill himself, and several teammates, fearing for his safety, felt it necessary to keep a close watch on him at the team hotel. Delahanty chased one of them away with a knife.

Del accompanied the Senators to their next stop in Detroit, where his mother and two brothers were summoned to help straighten him out. He continued to drink heavily, however, and again abandoned the team on July 2. By this time he knew he would be unable to jump to the Giants, as a court order issued the previous day prohibited Davis from playing for New York. Delahanty nonetheless boarded a train to New York that afternoon but, perhaps tellingly, left his belongings in his Detroit hotel room. Del misbehaved on the train, smoking when he was not supposed to, drinking to excess, and accidentally breaking the glass in front of the emergency tool cabinet. Finally, he fell asleep. When the train made a scheduled stop in Bridgeburg, (now Fort Erie), Ontario, Del became disoriented and tried to enter an already occupied berth. The commotion seemed to confuse him more, and he had to be subdued by three men. The conductor, John Cole, had understandably had enough of him for the evening and ordered Del off the train.

The train crossed the International Railway Bridge over the Niagara River into Buffalo.

In the darkness Big Ed walked out onto the 3,600 foot long bridge and was standing still at its edge, staring down into the water, when he was accosted by night watchman Sam Kingston, on the lookout for smugglers. A scuffle ensued, with Kingston dragging Delahanty back to the middle of the wide bridge, but Kingston then fell down and Delahanty got away. Moments later, according to Kingston -- who claimed it was too dark to see what happened -- Del either jumped or drunkenly stumbled off the edge of the bridge, falling 25 feet into the 40-foot-deep Niagara River.

His naked body (except for tie, shoes and socks) was found 20 miles downstream at the base of Horseshoe Fallsthe Canadian portion of Niagara Fallsseven days later. Dead at the age of 35, he was buried in Calvary Cemetery in Cleveland.

I'm taking a guy from a team he has already used, so I'll just float mine out there and then he and Bogie can argue over who gets to pick.

7.23 - Greg Maddux (SP, Cubs)

PIC

 
Spartans is still up, but the clock is off for the night.

Bogart, you are not up.

..

RnR, I'm sure your pick will fly, but I don't want people to think your pick meant that Spartans was skipped. He wasn't.

Just moved to Michigan late last year. I'm on the eastern side and EST is a real adjustment when you've spent the 24 years of the life you remember in CST.

I can't speak for you or the time adjustment for being in Europe because I've never been to Europe. Compared to a lot of people on this board and DEFINITELY compared to you, my world experiences have been on the low side. :shrug:
