Frank WakefieldCredible analysis, Ted.
As for Bransfield, he's from Worcester, as Ted says... and he played with Boston for a bit in 1898. Maybe his 'hometown favorite' status helped get him on there. Maybe he asked. Maybe someone with Ramly specifically asked him...
I can see that if there was to be a token player on there from Philly, Bransfield would be a good choice.
