#129: Charlie Newman

Charlie Newman

Another 1800's player - all I can do is try.

I) Charlie Newman --> 1892 Chicago Colts
I) Charlie Newman --> 1892 New York Giants

Two teams to work with here.

I) Charlie Newman --> 1892 Chicago Colts --> Bill Dahlen

II) Dahlen --> 1911 Brooklyn Dodgers --> Zach Wheat
      III) Wheat --> '27 Philadelphia Athletics --> Jimmie Foxx

This chain ends here. Foxx has been used before, so I know I won't do this in 6 degrees.

I) Charlie Newman --> 1892 New York Giants --> Wee Willie Keeler

II) Keeler --> '10 New York Giants --> Hank Gowdy
      III) Gowdy --> '30 Boston Braves --> Johnny Cooney

I connected Cooney too. Unfortunately, I'd be one degree off if I went further.

Degrees of Matt Stairs: Over 6
