Captain Hemlock

The man who loved to bat with a toothpick in his mouth. He also holds the MLB record for most home runs for a player whose name starts with "U"

@Bibliogryphonhas a solid team. To be honest, I’m glad I’m not getting a pass to the next round.

Also , interesting that @diego picked Jimmy Carter and his opponent @Sir Creep did not.

Sorry @The Old Crem didn’t make it, but as Homer Simpson once said De Fault are the two sweetest words in the English language Update: best of luck @Bibliogryphon. Looking forward to a great match.

Brian Mulroney is sadly, a "hit" for me.

Double Dynamite.

My rather uninspired picks are in. Good luck to @The Old Crem

Thanks for reminding me. Lol

Sci-fi author Steve Miller has died. He was a space cowboy, bet you weren't ready for that. https://www.centralmaine.com/2024/02/21/waterville-sci-fi-author-whose-career-spanned-genres-and-universes-dies-at-73/

His son is MLB player Pete LaCock.

He does have a Wikipedia page in Italian. https://it.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sammy_Basso

Bill Post, who invented Pop Tarts, dead at 96 https://www.wzzm13.com/amp/article/news/local/man-behind-pop-tarts-has-died-at-96/69-a41683f5-03d7-4964-860c-9dca5f4a9200

Bob Edwards had one of the greatest radio voices ever.

Pictures are all looking good. It looks like "O" is the only one that's not complete. Also, just an idea, but for my pick of Michael H. Kenyon, perhaps you can just use a generic picture of an enema bag.

Toby Keith didn’t make it to the main list for me. Replace him with Ryne Sandberg on the subs list.

@Bibliogryphon Just curious if AJ Foyt was a 1935 born long lister for you. He is the person I was most surprised to see as a non DDP pick.

Richard Caster, WR/TE mostly with the New York Jets, dead at 75 https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/39460842/former-jets-te-pro-bowler-richard-caster-dies-75

John Pregenzer, who pitched for the San Francisco Giants in 1963 and 1964, has died at 91. https://www.legacy.com/us/obituaries/name/john-pregenzer-obituary?id=54273533

I’m thinking Jimmy Walker and Jimmie Walker (correct spelling) are in fact the same person.

A few that need to be corrected: George Schlatter year of birth is 1929, not 1932 Peter Bonerz year of birth is 1938, not 1934 Woody Allen birthdate is off by 1 day. It should be 30 November, 1935 not 1 December, 1935
