Juliefirst big part...whaddaya think, are we all related to everyone else on the planet by no more than six degrees (and does a "degree" include in-laws?). I think thery were talking about blood relatives, but Bob says friends will do...
Ted, someone has done what someone did with Eddie Murray with many players, starting in the late 1800s. taking five or six steps, and winding up today (it was in the '90s)...great players. Apparently, his theory is that there is at least one really great player every generation (20 years). I believe the careers had to overlap at least by one day...we did a sort of similar thing here with decades...had to choose a dominant player from each decade, and they had to make a baseball team, position wise.
