Check @ Baseball America.com  They might have someone with the records. \n\nThey focus on minor league, collegiate, and high school baseball.

Wikipedia is usually good, just type the players name into the search box.\n\nIf you need a list of players from a team, Baseball Library is better.

Do you have any supporting info? Like a career field?\nThere's only one hit in a yahoo search, and that's a 2003 baseball roster.\nSorry.

You have to be invited, thus the name "Select"\n\nThere are some larger leagues that hold tryout for teams that may need a player or two.\n\nIf you know a coach that has a Select team, I would contact him or her.\n\nYou might also try Baseball USA, they might know of someone looking for a player.

Robert:  Start with the Babe Ruth Official Web site http://www.baberuthleague.org/ and see if you can contact them and get the charter information for Tulare, Visalia or Hanford or Tulare County.  Then check with the parks department in those cities to see if they have records of Babe Ruth using their ballfields (it's unlikely any youth leagues had their own fields in those days).  You can also go to the Times Delta, or the Tulare/Hanford papers and search their archives.  As a last result try ads in the newspapers for old timers who played, coached, umpired, etc. for BRL.  I think if you had a League in the mid-fifties the teams would have been composed of Tulare, Hanford, and Visalia.  By the way, Babe Ruth League ball didn't get to large sections of Los Angeles until the late 1950's and early1960's, so maybe it wasn't to the San Joaquin yet.  You might try to run down American Legion players of that era, as many of them helped coach Babe Ruth and Little League teams and may be able to answer your question.   BTW, I was a long term resident of Visalia until 1994, but now live out of state.

My Dad played for the Cubs farm system back in the early 1960's in the Southwest. He told me that they had a player on the AAA team in New Mexico when he played that the Cubs thought was just too old (29) and they were just stringing him along until the end of his contract. Several years later when the Mets beat out the Cubs for the division title, guess who was one of the starters for the Mets!\n\nHe also said, whenever the Cubs found a really good player they would always trade him for two bums. Some things never change.

They showed on the My Yahoo here for 2 days after my draft and then dissapeared.  If you have the Yahoo toolbar add the fantasy baseball button and that will take you to a page where all you teams will be listed.

Gwynn and Ripkin are shoe-ins for the hall.  McGwire will not make it for at least for a few years if ever.  When he faced congress a couple of years ago he really hurt himself when confronted about his possible use of steroid.  Of course he admitted to the use of a certain steroid in 1998 when he "broke" Maris record.\n\nOne of my biggest concerns is that there are players that should be in the hall and for whatever reason have yet to be voted in.  Among my own personal list are players like, Jice Rice, Dave Parker, Don Mattingly, Dwight Evans, Lee Smith, Alan Trammell, Jack Morris, and of course the "Goose" Rich Gossage.\n\nSomebody please tell me why these guys are not hall of famers????

Maybe you broke some rule.  Email the person in charge of the league or in charge of fantasy baseball to see if you can resolve things.

It may be that the entire league isn't ready.  A similar thing happened to me in a head-to-head league, and it turned out that there were an uneven number of teams in the league, and Yahoo wouldn't begin the draft.\n\nBut other than that I can't help you, sorry.

I sounds like you got some mad skillz, but sorry bro you can't. I know plenty of guys like you and they all got rejected. Its under CIF rules, the league does background checks on every player.

The most famous player is Old Yogi Berra, played for the Yankee's he was traded to them from St. Louis Cardinals. Has played in more world series than anyone else. He was born on Elizabeth street in St. Louis. (The Hill) He is famous because I cant turn on the TV without seeing him advertising something

It just depends on what you have and when they were produced.  Trash 'em dude....although I have not bought a card in well over 10 years, the ones from back in those days are worthless from what I've seen.  Now that they have game used memo./autographs/limited edition cards, etc...\n\nSucks becuase I have so many rookies of HOF's and future HOF's...Ripken, McGwire, Eckersley, Ryan, Fisk, Reggie, Brett, even Barry Bonds isn't worth jack squat.  Box after box sitting in my closet taking up space...\n\nAll I can think of is E-bay for selling them and www.beckett.com for looking up their worth.
