Default Claiming a Famous Baseball Relative

How far back can you go to claim a famous baseball player as a relative before it loses meaning? There's no right answer to that question I assume, but I wanted to share this from my family tree. I have cousins closely related to Dots Miller, which is much better than my claim. I know we have a grandson of the best pitcher of all-time here, which I can't compete with either, but I'll share anyway

I have been doing genealogy research recently and found a family line that has a lot of work already done going very far back. I'll keep this baseball related here, even though I've found some other cool relatives. I have been checking the trees of famous people for weeks and a large majority are misses obviously (unless you go back to the royal bloodlines from very long ago). I just found my first baseball player since I started checking them and came up with a pretty good name for this forum.

These people in the scan below are my ninth and tenth great-grandparents. The Hallock/Howell one is actually ninth two times, please don't ask how

This screenshot is from the family tree of Grover Cleveland Alexander. They are his eighth great-grandparents, making us distant cousins. It's interesting that the kids of these two got married on his tree, but my line where they cross meets up two generations closer, which is how these great-grandparents are different generations for me.

Between my cousin and I, we averaged 186.5 wins in the majors. I have none of his playing days cards (I have modern cards of him), which means I need one or many more now. So please share some cards of Grover Cleveland Alexander.
