Congratulations to Willie Keeler for winning our 7th Greatest 19th Century Player! He won 3 of our 8 votes (37%). He defeated Roger Connor, Bill Lange and George Davis, who each received a single vote, (12%).

The 8th round for Greatest 19th Century Player is now open. It will close after a brief period. We will no longer wait until we got 15 votes, as previously. That often took months and even a year to achieve.

Might I persuade anyone to consider voting in our other 19th Century polls?

I had Deacon White last time. If you can link them so people don't want to search it would be much appreciated. Upon further consideration I will vote for Roger Connor. George Davis and then White should we get that far.

[Bill Burgess]

Good Lord! Looks like I forgot to post the poll. Please forgive me. Would you mind registering your votes accordingly?

Roger Conner!
