Was it Jr. or III or IV?:confused:

[McCovey]

Was it Jr. or III or IV?:confused:
I think THEE Connie Mack is the original Cornelius McGillicuddy. His grandson (Connie Mack III) and great-grandson (Connie Mack IV) are well known politicians.

Connie Mack Jr. Son of Athletics Owner, 83

Connie Mack Jr., the father of the Senator from Florida and a son of the Hall of Fame baseball manager, both named Connie Mack, died of cancer of the esophagus on Wednesday. He was 83.

Mr. Mack worked for 15 years as a coach and executive of the Philadelphia Athletics, the team his father owned and managed. The son moved to Florida in 1951 and became involved in real estate in the Fort Myers region.

He is survived by his wife, Susan, and three daughters and three sons, besides Senator Mack, a Republican of Cape Coral.

Bill Lee = Spaceman. He was just plain goofy. There are many books that talk about him as a player.

[TkleMstr52]

Nice, so I bet he was a good teammate to have around!! Keep them loose on the field and in the dugout!!

The Bear is not ready to tune the team over to Mc. anytime soon. He knows his stuff but a little to much by the numbers for me at this time. Maybe after ten more years at the Paw of the Bear, and he will be ready. :pound::rotf::pound::rotf:
