Always liked that set, and Simmons was one of the greats! You also never see DeLongs centered like that. Congrats!

BTW, was just checking out some of Simmons' stats... he wasn't a big power hitter, but his .334 lifetime BA over 20 years is quite impressive. He led the AL in '30 and '31 with averages of .381 and .390. In 1927, Al batted an amazing .392, but finished only 2nd in the AL behind Detroit's Harry Heilmann who batted .398!
