Thanks for taking the initiative on this. I like your added statistics for the players on the list. This job is yours if you want it. :)

It sure does. Thanks a lot! I just have too many other priorities on the site :)

Since I am not available to do these history threads all the time anymore, I am glad someone is willing to take them over. Originally the birthday threads(which were actually started by someone else, I forget who.) only included living players. But I don't think that is a requirement.
I also like the stat feature in this list.

Wondered why the Fisher name rang a bell. He got quite a bit of press in the Denver Metro while he was in HS.
