Default N28 and N29 are attractive sets, but some of the ballplayers

Mulvey and Fogarty are no strangers to me - as I revel in studying the Philadelphia Phillies formation, and their players in the 19th century.

Mulvey was the regular Phillies third baseman for a number of years - so no worries there.

As for Fogarty, he was a damn good ballplayer I think! He was a jack-of-all-trades, able to play nearly every position. He was known for a good eye, and frequently got on base by walks. And he was very quick on the basepaths. He happened to die in 1891, so his career was cut short [a few years after one of his teammates, Chas. Ferguson, who was a phenom who died prematurely in the Spring of 1888]
