Nice piece of research , very much enjoyed it. Thanks. I like Seerey and have had him on a number of play-by-intranet leagues. Most recently, on my New York Yankees in the 1948 season of the Greatest Generation Baseball League, a DMB draft league, he swatted 19 homers (his RL total) and drove in 64. I was pleased with his production.
I kind of forgot to mention that Pat Seerey had 4 homers in one game for the White Sox in 1948. I think that was actually the inspiration for the wire fence.
Sounds like a good player to draft! Did your league have salary rules? I'm guessing he would have been undervalued...
No salary rules in that league. And speaking of four-homer games, of which I think there have been only 17 in big-league history, I had one recently in the 1988 WIWAG league when Pete Incaviglia hit four in one game for my Rio Bravo Lobos. Have never seen that before in a sim and don't expect to see it again. He homered in his first four at bats and then, natch, fanned in his last plate appearance.

Wow! I bet that last plate appearance was a doozy...
