#250: George Rettger

George Rettger

I) George Rettger --> 1892 Cleveland Spiders
I) George Rettger --> 1892 Reds

We'll go with the Reds team first, since they still exist.

I) George Rettger --> 1892 Reds --> Arlie Latham

Could it be? It is! It's The Freshest Man On Earth! As it is, we've come across this dapper gent already, and can stop this chain right here. Onward to Cleveland!

I) George Rettger --> 1892 Cleveland Spiders --> Cy Young, Jack O'Connor

II) O'Connor --> '10 St. Louis Browns
II) Young --> '11 Cleveland Naps
II) Young --> '11 Boston Rustlers

Jack O'Connor got us nowhere in this post. The Cleveland Naps team has been connected and requires all 6 degrees. My one and only hope is the Rustlers (or, as they are known now, the Atlanta Braves).

II) Young --> '11 Boston Rustlers --> Hank Gowdy
      III) Gowdy --> '30 Boston Braves

That's the end folks. Gowdy and the '30 Braves showed up once before here.
