List, I am excited about this Virtual Library for the following reason: I found an obituary for my grandfather in the New York Times which mentioned a fact I've been trying to verify - he was a pitcher for the Philadelphia Phillies. I still don't know what year and I don't know for how long but at least I now can say I know he did it!
