1. Sebastianyou'll have to settle for a T-shirt (at least we now know where the name comes from)
The Hungarians, Slovaks, and Polish miners started showing up later than the German and Irish ones. 1889 would have been a high point of Eastern European influx into that area.
Looks like the Shenandoah Hungarian Rioters (nickname later shortened to "Huns") were mostly Irishmen with some Germans, much like the Pottsville and Hazleton teams of that era. Plus Shagowash Graves.
Watch out for Richie Hebner!
Is this a typo, or is a "pugilisit" a real thing?
They were managed by James McCartney, whose middle name is presumably Paul.
Ten Million played for the Moose Jaw (Saskatchewan) Robin Hoods of the Western Canada League in 1914.
I wonder how the owner felt about revenue-sharing.
Even worse for Mr. Nolan, if you search for "the Nolan" at B-Ref Andre Dawson comes up. Which is surprising, I was expecting Nolan Ryan.
