What a Doll

Postby LMBombers » Tue Aug 08, 2006 8:29 am

I drafted a guy named Baby Doll Jacobson. I had never heard of this guy before so I did a little looking and found some info on him I'd like to share with you all if you are interested.

William Chester ( Baby Doll ) Jacobson was born August 16th, 1890, in Cable, IL. Legend has it that at Mobile ( in the Southern League ) in 1912, the grandstand band played Oh, You Beautiful Doll after Jacobsons' Opening Day homer, and the next days' paper captioned his photo, "Baby Doll". He made his Major League debut on April 14,1915 with the Detroit Tigers. The center fielder for one of the best outfields in history, Baby Doll Jacobson teamed with Ken Williams and Jack Tobin on the St. Louis Browns for five years. He was a large man (the Leagues' BIGGEST player, at 6'3'' and 215 lbs) who covered the outfield well, holding the American League record for putouts for 24 years. Cast adrift by Detroit as a rookie, Jacobson went on to post a .311 average in more than 1,400 major league games. He played for 5 teams in a 12 year career as a center-fielder, including the St. Louis Browns from 1915 thru 1926. He ranked in the top ten in MVP voting in 1924 and 1925. At one time, he held 13 AL fielding records. Jacobson retired from baseball in 1927, and he died on January 17, 1977 in Orion, IL., at the age of 86.

Sorry for delay guys. Meetings have had me bottled up all morning. Gosh I hate work!! It takes me away from the important things in life like the 4th round of the 80s managers ATGIII draft. :shock: I'll pick in just a second. I see all the guys I wanted were snatched up!!

some housekeeping notes:

There were three votes for keeping it at 3 rounds, 2 for extending, and the rest were OK either way. So I think the decision is to cut the live draft at 3 rounds and go to the autodraft. Because there was opposition to a frenzy at the beginning, we will go waivers.

AD Rules: You may put as many of the players from your selected teams on the AD list as you like. They belong to you unless you trade them. Individual drafted players, however, must be on your AD card and on your roster for you to retain rights to them. If you leave them off your AD or release them, they are free game. If you trade a players rights for a drafted player (or another player on your roster), the drafted player must stay on the new teams' roster to maintain rights.

One exception to the AD rules, if you are trading a player on your roster for the rights to another player not on roster, you may do it as a drop and pick up, but: [b:da1e912415]You must send a message on league mail first announcing that you are doing it as a drop and pick up[/b:da1e912415], and that player will be hands off. Otherwise, if you just drop, he is fair game.

Divisions are:
East: CPL, Jablowmi, LMBombers, and Wjanssen
Central: Crossing, Sykes, Yountfan, and Cubs48
West: Jsamia, Free Radicals, EhleKev, and Hakmusic

When ready, if someone from the East could set up the league as $80 million, DH, and weighted waivers, and send a password to the other east teams, that would be great.

I will be out all day tomorrow, but I am in the west, so hopefully I will get home to finish up the league. Lets try to get the draft done today so that we can get our teams entered by tomorrow at the latest. Tonight would be even better!
