ROUNDS 1-24 (merged)

and for the last pick in round 4 he picks..

Roy Campanella

With the first pick of the 5th round, the Blundering Dunderheads draft their mastcot and #1 RHP

Dizzy Dean

The Riddlers are proud to select the manager of the Orioles as their lead off hitter, third baseman and the first member of the management team John McGraw

Wallace Fessenden likes odd ducks, and they dont come any more odd than Larry Berra, his 5th round pick.

With their 5th round pick, the Cleveland Spiders are pleased to select:

Charlie Gehringer, 2B



The durable Gehringer will provide superb defense and and ever steady hitting from the 2-spot of the Spiders order.

With their fifth round pick Pray For Rain selects from the University of Texas Starting Pitcher Roger Clemens.

For the great Red Stockings are pleased to add: one and only Roberto Clemente.

Mark

With their 5th round pick, the Baltimore Orioles select Rickey Henderson, LF for the Oakland Athletics.

In round 5, the Joe Shlabotniks choose FRANK CHANCE, 1st base.

From my Favorite team , growing up as a kid. The 57 Braves who knocked off the dreaded Yankees in the 57 World series.
The Windmakers proudly draft Mr. Eddie Mathews to play the hot corner and add Homerun punch to the lineup.

With their 5th selection, the FieldofDreamers add another stick, who happened to carry a good glove too: Bill Dickey

This from Baseball library.com
The premier catcher of the late 1930s and early 1940s, the lefthanded-hitting Dickey was the soul of the Yankee dynasty bridging the Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig and Joe DiMaggio eras as a player, and the Mickey Mantle era as a coach. He was a keen handler of pitchers, especially the erratic Lefty Gomez, as quiet as his roommate, Gehrig, consistent, setting a major league record for catching 100 or more games in 13 straight seasons, and never played another game at another position. He was the first Yankee to find out about Gehrig's illness and was the only active player to play himself in the Gary Cooper movie "Pride of the Yankees." The Yankees retired his number 8, but ironically Dickey didn't wear that number at the start or the end of his Yankee days. When Dickey first came up, Benny Bengough wore number eight. When he came back to coach, Yogi Berra was wearing it.

As usual, Lee can start this thread once he has made the final pick of RD 5.

And now to add my speed burner, since Rickey Henderson is gone. Starting at Catcher Ernie Lombardie

Lee

Connie Mack has adviced me that he has an old stand by that did him well for years: Minnesota native Chief Bender will follow Addie Joss in the rotation.

Lee

Better judgement here says pick a more modern shortstop but my old school ways prevale. My new all-star shortstop looks good in his new Windmakers Uniform. The Windmakers choose Joe Cronin to play SS.

For LF, the Joe Shlabotnik's choose Hugh Duffy.

With the seventh pick in the Sixth Round, the Baltimore Orioles select Ken Griffey Jr. of the Seattle Mariners for an outfield spot, then assigning him to right field.

From his PM, Mark selects...

Mariano Rivera, CL

With the real seventh pick in the sixth round Pray For Rain selects out of Valley High School in Las Vegas, Nevada pitcher Greg Maddux.

With their 6th round pick, the Cleveland Spiders would like to welcome Bob Gibson into the fold.



Gibson joins Walter Johnson to form a fearsome 1-2 punch at the top of the Spiders rotation.

Wallace Fessenden likes the idea of the Fordham Flash in the #2 spot in the order and selects Frank Frisch at second base.

The Rustlers now get their clean up hitter. This slugger compares favorably to the Field of Dreamers recently acquired second sacker, if you check the stats carefully.

And we welcome Dan Brouthers.
