Max, sorry to post something unrelated to your actual hunt, but I recall when I was living in Nanaimo and the CBL had started up, either the National Post or the Globe & Mail ran an article about baseball on the West Coast.

The article showed a picture of the 'Ten Million' card, and explained that his parents were a bit eccentric, and named him 'Ten' because at the time 10M was an insanely large number. To take it one step further his sister (younger, I believe) went by Dixie, which was short for 'Decillion' (10^33).

I'd post a link to the actual article, but I can't find it.

Richard.
