My dad died when I was 9...But before he died he filled me up with a ton of Irish Lore to be proud of. (Descendants of Irish Kings, etc. etc similar to: The Princes of Ireland by Edward Rutherford.). Each child needs to believe some magical story of one's heritage... One of the stories was that his uncle was Iron Man Joe McGinnity. Attached a photo. Quite frankly, I see the strong MCGINNITY resemblance that so many I have met refer to...The dates make sense...My father, William James McGinnity was born in 1903...Thanks to Mr. and Mrs. Robin Neil of the CAPA board, I was able to give Seano and Patrick this baseball card for their memory box...Someday, I hope to have the time to research this history to gift to Seano, Patrick and Nell...
