Thank you all for your wonderful suggestions, ideas and responses. It has been

most helpful.



Here is a list of all the players you have suggested we research and possibly

include in our exhibit:



Kitty Bransfield

Art LaVigne

Tom Keegan.

Jesse Burkett

Al "Bear Tracks" Javery

Rich Gedman

Wilbert "Uncle Robbie" Robinson

Marck Fidyrich

Connie Mack

Jack Barry

Ownie Carroll

Arthur "Foxy" Irwin

Hugh Bradley

J.Lee Richmond



Is there anyone we might be missing? Anyone else significant to baseball that

you might suggest? Would anyone be interested in a meeting here at the museum to

discuss this more?



As always I look forward to all of your thoughts.

A very good list. Players to add:

Marty Bergen (North Brookfield) - catcher with Boston Beaneaters who

was plagued by personal problems in his life and wound up killing his

wife, two children and then himself in 1900.

Bill Bergen (North Brookfield) - brother of Marty; also a catcher who

had the ignominity of having the lowest batting average in major league

history - nearly 15 seasons.

Pat Moran (Fitchburg) - manager of the 1919 Cincinnati Reds, who won

the World Series against the "Black Sox".



Mike Richard

Regarding Marty Bergen, there is an excellent article in Sports Illustrated by

William Nack dated June 4, 2001 that gives a pretty good background of  I

believe the SI archives are open to everyone at SI.COM.(link to the story below.

You may have to copy and paste). The Worcester Gazette of January 19th and

beyond also has the actual news accounts.
