My friends Great (not sure how many greats) grand uncle of some sort is Cy Young.
I've spoke through email with a couple relatives of D381 Fleischmann players as well. Walter Traggesser's relative was one of them. However, unfortunately, I couldn't find that card for them, or myself for that matter...

The closest I come is my great grandfather was the quarterback of the first Michigan State University football team.
This was always the family story and, it being a family story, I took the veracity with a grain of salt growing up. But as an adult I found in the library a history of MSU football book published by the univsirity and it had a photo of the team including my great grandfather. The old family story turned out to be true. The father of my cousin-by-marriage played in the lower level minors Pre-War and the cousin has his uniforms, glove and contracts, includes a jersey with the 1939 Centennial patch. I showed him what just the patch itself has sold for at auction and he was pleased, though he has no intention of selling. Last edited by drcy; 08-27-2014 at 06:03 PM.

My great great uncle was bill mellor who played one season for Baltimore in 1902. My cousin has a cabinet photo I'm trying to pry out of him.

Not quite "Pre-War" but..............
.........my wife's uncle (father's brother) was George "Whitey" Kurowski, a very solid player for the Cardinals in the mid-late forties, who had particular success in the World Series ('48 Leaf SP)

I haven't confirmed it but due to his place of origin and our relatively odd spelling of the last name, I am fairly likely to be related to Johnny Marcum.

I've found indications that I'm distantly related to Albert Spalding, Morgan Bulkeley, Carlton Fisk, and all the Lords Stanley.
