Ohhh ok, I see what happened here.

Sarge made a pick and tagged me, I saw your picks on the draft board but didn't see any post about them.

Brain cramp on my part I guess, forgot I needed to draft a second player.

"More than one observer has likened Campanella’s quickness behind the plate to that of a cat. He can pounce on bunts placed far out in front of the plate and he gets his throws away with no wasted motion. He had not only a rifle arm but an accurate one. "
NY World Telegram reporter Tom Meany

"I hate all hitters. I start a game mad and I stay that way until it's over. " Don Drysdale, SP Roy Campanella, C @sarge88 is up.

@Dr Pepper Bill Jame's 4th best player ever and the best RP ever:

"Some people asked me, 'Why are you playing so close to the right-field foul line?' What they didn't know was that Charleston covered all three fields, and my responsibility was to make sure of balls down the line and those in foul territory. " Dave Malarcher

"I would love to be remembered as a player who was always there for others. " Mariano Rivera @sarge88 is up.
