With the first overall pick of the Full Count Historical Fantasy Baseball League, the Blundering Dunderheads take OF/pitcher Babe Ruth.

Yes, Ruth
I was thinking "probably has an arm .... would give Cobb something to think about going first to third"
And quite a stick too. But the Dunderheads scoffed him up.

So the best way remaing to stop the Cobb threat, is to get him
So, I do.

And if I can pick a team name now, this pile will be known as Its Only's Riddlers

The Riddlers proudly choose the Georgia Peach as their first selection (hoping he will bat second, if I can secure the right lead off man).

Manager Wallace Fessenden chooses the Splendid Splinter, Ted Williams, with the #3 pick.

With the #4 pick in the Full Count Historical Fantasy Draft, the Cleveland Spiders Select their ace:

Walter Johnson, SP



Widely considered the greatest pitcher the game has ever seen, the Big Train will anchor a staff that hopes to dominate the FC Historical League for years to come.

J is for Johnson
The Big Train in his prime
Was so fast he could throw
Three strikes at a time.
— Ogden Nash, Sport magazine
