Default WHO is "Billy Owen" .... a Fan Craze mystery ?

Posted By: Hal Lewis

"Hey Fred, we need one more card to make a round number for a complete set. Who else can we add?"

"I don't know, Larry... but what was the name of that one kid who Boston brought up for that one game? The kid looked like a future star."

"Star? Heck, Fred, the kid didn't do squat! Wasn't his name Owen or Owens?"

"Yeah, that's him. Was it Bill Owen or Frank Owen? Was it Owen or Owens?"

"Good Lord Fred, who cares?! Do you really think anyone is going to buy these stupid cards... much less COLLECT them for decades and worry about what this clown's name was?"

"Good point, Larry. Billy Owens it is."

"Great, print him up and we can finish this job and head down to the saloon for a couple of five cent drafts and a good nickel cigar."
