Posted By: <b>identify7</b><p>My daughter always giggles at the name Heine Manush, but my favorite is a pitcher with a lifetime 33-42 record, who is shown on '40 PlayBall as "Line Drive" Nelson.

Posted By: <b>Joe P.</b><p>I enjoyed watching him pitch during the war years.<br /><br />Justin:<br />I got to see Coco Crisp play quite a few games when he played for the Potomac Cannons, High A - Carolina League.<br />A very serious young man that comes to play.<br />I wish him luck.
