Default Name...
My handle has to do with Marty Marion of the St. Louis Cardinals/Browns in the 40’s and 50’s. Marty was the father of my mom’s best friend. As a result I got swim in his pool and interview him for the school newspaper when I was 12.

The name “STL1944” comes from St. Louis plus the year that Marty was the NL MVP…

I guess I probably need to add a picture…
