I was almost named Don Newcomb(e)
When I was born I was almost named after my mom's father, whose name was Don Timberman (not Donald, just Don). But this was southwestern Ohio in 1959 and Newk was pitching for the Reds - my family got cold feet and went with John Timberman Newcomb instead. Different times (at least in my family)...
Nevertheless I have always thought of Don Newcombe as a beloved ancestor of sorts - sorry to hear the news of his passing.
