      Of course! Had him, then put him aside. Lost in the shuffle. Good one.

            YES, you scored with Roof. Def. missed him as a catcher. Walker is too common, and really "walk" is the term used. Singleton doesn't fit for same reason "Doubleday" and "Triplet" don't.

              Great! Had Beers and left him off for now, but missed Coke. But you forget catcher Herman Franks!

                        Dave Winfield should get double credit.

                          Sorry don't get it. No net or nettles in baseball, right? Or am I missing something...?

                            Almost too good to be true! Great, esp. if they ever start actually pronoucing his name "Ball four"

                              Thanks. Only reason I left him off the team was because there are two guys on it already named/spelled "Winn."
