Speaking of no-name/short time catchers...
Last month I was eating breakfast at a diner with the folks, and this lady saw my Wrigley Field shirt and decided to talk. She was the wife of Rube Novotney, a catcher for the club in 1949. He was only up for a month, while Grimm was managing. She told us that Grimm liked him and told him that had he been in charge of his roster spot, he would still be catching for the Cubs.
Nice lady.
So anywhoo, if Bowen makes before Novotney I'd be enraged. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.gif[/img] [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif[/img]

I hate my pretentious sounding username too.
