    “The Royals of Sir Cedric” by Steve Treder of the Hardball Times December 21, 2004

    “The Royals of Sir Cedric” by Steve Treder of The Hardball Times December 21, 2004 At its inception, the most successful expansion franchise in pre-free agency baseball history didn’t impress many observers. The Kansas City Royals devoted most of their expansion draft picks to unproven young players, in distinct contrast to the approach taken by their companion A.L. expansion team, the Seattle Pilots. Take a look at the first ten choices of each club, noting each player’s age and major league experience as of the October 15, 1968 draft: Royals: Player Age ML Seasons ML Experience 1. Roger Nelson 24 2 78 innings 2. Joe Foy 25 3 1,515 at-bats 3. Jim Rooker 26 1 5 innings 4. Joe Keough 22 1 98 at-bats 5. Steve Jones 27 2 36 innings 6. Jon Warden 22 1 37 innings 7.

    Cameron Harrington John Bishop Periods 1,2 T Michael Bircumshaw US Navy Submarine Service 1956­1976 2016 T Michael Bircumshaw T Michael Bircumshaw was born on the 18th of May, 1939 at 2:14 AM. It was a Thursday and slightly overcast. At barely 17 years of age in 1956, he ditched the last one and a half years of High School and enlisted in the US Navy as a Seaman Recruit (E­1). His first deployment following Boot Camp began in October of 1956 and lasted until April of 1960, during which time he had been stationed aboard a Fleet Tanker, the USS Aucilla AO­56, home ported in Barcelona, Spain. During his tour aboard he developed an interest in the Submarine Service due to the influence of his Commanding Officer, Captain Eli T Reich, a WWII Submariner who commanded the USS Sealion SS­315 and sank the Japanese Battleship, Kongo, with 880 men aboard. In addition to this he also sank a Jap Destroyer and a POW Ship. Captain Eli T Reich had personally written the names of the 4 men he lost when the Japanese bombed and sank the USS Sealion SS­195, where he served as Chief Engineer. The Sealion was the first Submarine sank in WWII while it was in overhaul in Cavite Bay, Philippines on the 10th of December, 1941. It is reported that upon sinking the Japanese ship, Kongo, Eli T Reich said “880 of those yellow bastards for 4 of my Sailors, we are still not even.” Reich’s actions had a major influence on T Michael Bircumshaw.
