    Had to dig out my old VD spreadsheets and look. Late round B hitters:
    Pete Browning
    George Brett
    Jesse Burkett
    Lou Brock
    Tom Brown
    Bobby Bonds
    Don Baylor
    Jake Beckley
    Dan Brouthers
    Ellis Burks
    Jim Bottomley
    Wade Boggs
    Lou Boudreau
    Ken Boyer
    Roger Bresnahan
    Albert Belle
    Harold Baines

    And then when we did decades, we added a few deadball bees:
    Ross Barnes
    Ginger Beaumont
    Charlie Bennett
    Bob Bescher
    George Burns
    Oyster Burns

            He had amazing testicles.

                            I've hardly visited Ohio. went thru on a train when I was 6 moving from Virginia to Illinois...don't remember that at all. Drove thru Northern Ohio after my freshman year of college...don't remember that much for different reasons. Stayed in Bryan Ohio, played hoops, drank beer and was generally a derelict. When my employer laid me off I went for a job interview in Akron. Saw football HOF and not much else. Hope to see a bit of Cincinatti and Dayton on this trip.

                              sadly i will miss the Guardians on this trip. I was hoping to fly into Chicago and catch a Cubs game before we went to Michigan, but I was overruled. No Reds games when i will be in Cincy, that is unfortunate.

                                at this point I just hope the people who hate masks and vaccines don't ruin my whole trip. It looked pretty safe a month or so ago when I booked the trip, but now I'm not so sure. Not really a big deal in the grand scheme of things....but damn why do people want to prolong the whole COVID affair?
