FAQs

At least I think they should be.

Cycle alerts

Yellow alert - Player needs triple for cycle
Orange alert - Player needs double for cycle
Red alert - Player need single for cycle

If a player needs a home run for the cycle, the level of the alert varies depending upon the determination of the Cycle Detection Warning System, which is headquartered in Thief River Falls, Minnesota.

In the 1930 census, the only place I could find him, his name is given as Louis Castro, he is 51, married at 26 to Margaret. He gives his birth place (and both of his parents') as New York. His wife and her parents are shown as from Vermont. His occupation is ball player.

I am not convinced he was born in New York. I know there are some later documents where it is stated he was born in New York, but until I see a birth certificate or baptismal note I am sceptical. Immigrants often will state they are from a US city even if they were not born there especially when attempting to qualify for aid. I am putting together a book on Mr. Castro, any assistance you might be able to offer would be apreciated...

Just a Follow Up:
I have found the original ships record when Castro and his family came to the US from Columbia when he was eight years old. I have found information of some degree for nearly every year of his life. He was not born in the US as previously reported. I have created a web site for Louis louiscastro.com
