Lewis "King" Brockett, a pitcher for the NY Highlanders sporadically from 1907-1911 is my first cousin, thrice removed. He also played in Buffalo, Montreal and Newark, when not playing in New York. He played when teams were willing to meet his contract demands. When they weren't, apparently he could make better money by staying home and farming, which he did a couple times during his career.
Sadly, once I learned he was related, all of his cards were well out of my price range. |

I think I'm related to Cuke Barrows who played breifly for the White Sox 1909-1912. I know I'm related to other Barrows from the same section of Maine he was from, so I assume he must also be related.

As discussed in another recent thread, Herbert Dessauer, probably of the Cotton States League's Greenwood (MS) Indians, and allegedly once offered a big league contract, was my great-grandfather.
