I want to share it with the members, but the document is too big (6 pages) for me to attach to this post...at least, not with my limited skills.

I have enjoyed compiling the document and my thought was that, perhaps, we would each enjoy pursuing those players who share our own birthdates. For me, there were two, Joe Lake and Billy Purtell.

If anyone is so inclined, I can send you a copy via email. Or if you feel 'froggy' and ambitious enough to translate it into a universally assessable format and location, please do so.

I think this can be a lot of fun...just another way to go after The Monster!

Hey Ray I added that category to my spreadsheet that I distributed to a few other board members. I couldn't find 11 players DOB and 14 players DOD. Good luck finding anything on Mr. Bastian ahaha.

One thing to note is a whole mess load of players from t206 went be different names than their birth and were spelled incorrectly as well. It's mostly the Southern Leaguers that I've had issues finding any information on.
