Yeah, I’m going from a thread I started on another site and it’s start date was late 2010. I can’t believe I’ve been this obsessed with people dying for more than five years. ---

Eddie Milner died? Huh. Eddie Milner was a player who I wonder if you could replay it from when he was 20 he might not end up in the Hall of Fame. He was very fast, a very good defensive outfielder, and he could hit for contact and didn’t strike out much. His batting averages don’t really make sense in light of his speed and his ability to put the bat on the ball. But the Reds weren’t very good at developing talent then and they took forever to move him through the minor league system. ---
