#67: Ed Abbaticchio

Ed Abbaticchio

I) Ed Abbaticchio --> '10 Pirates
I) Ed Abbaticchio --> '10 Doves

Doves? There was a team called the Doves?

I) Ed Abbaticchio --> '10 Pirates --> Max Carey
II) Carey --> '29 Robins

I) Ed Abbaticchio --> '10 Doves --> Lefty Tyler, Bill Rariden, Rowdy Elliott, Buck Herzog
II) Tyler/Herzog --> '21 Cubs
II) Rariden --> '20 Reds
II) Elliott --> '20 Robins

The Pirates team gives me a significant advantage. We'll start there.

II) Carey --> '29 Robins --> Bobo Newsom

Way to go Bobo! Newsom has been a critical link twice before (John Merritt, Jack Rothrock) and helps me again today. Even more amazing, his third appearance on my Connected Teams table comes with his third different team during a third different decade. That's versatility!

1. Ed Abbaticchio played for the 1910 Pittsburgh Pirates with Max Carey.
