Here's my guess: Zipmeister fixed the results of this poll far in advance to ensure he would be the only possible winner. Meister may now send his resume' directly to the Rupert Murdock News Network. He is rated "Highly Qualified" for positions in management.

I just wondered -- is Winston Austin stilll playing in this league?

Knee slapper for the "in-the-know".

Okay, perhaps no one besides Zip37 will remember this trivia answer Winston Austin was NE Ohio's answer to Gates Brown. He was a prospect who spent most of his 20s and 30s in the Mansfield Reformatory. By the time he got out he was too old to get picked up by any ML team, and this was before the Pioneer League came into existence. He played in the (what the heck was it called??) Greater Akron Baseball League (??) I think in Medina. Winston led the league in home runs, and I think batting, every year I can remember. This was in the 1970s. The league had a team that played at Green HS.

--Edit-- The story above was what I had been told back when I was a teenager. I never saw Winston play, but I did a bit of research and found no evidence he was actually in jail, so I apologize to the family (looks like he passed away recently, sorry to hear that). The league was the Greater Akron AA Baseball League. It may still be in existence?? Also, Scott Fletcher, the ex-ML catcher played in the league -- I played golf vs Fletcher of Wadsworth HS for Green at Mayfair back about 1975. Did they dig up all of Mayfair?
