Was clicking on random article on Wikipedia when this popped up:
A microscopic speck in the history of Reds baseball, but this kind of stuff is fun to find. Makes you wonder what it would have been like if teams were followed as closely as now. What would people have said about Mother Watson? He obviously didn't have a great run at the game, but this seemingly unimportant part of Reds history is quite a curiosity to me.

Probably how we treated guys like Eddie Priest, Scott Klingenbeck, Jeff Austin, Chris Booker, Gino Minutelli, and countless others who tried and failed. We forget about them. I wonder why he was shot, though.

If this forum had been around all you'd hear is "Relax, he's only 22!" :p:
