One of the greats of his day... Cotton Speyrer

     88 Days

 

How did you get to be called "Cotton?"
When I was born I had white hair, and I grew up in Brownsville. My mothers' family, who was from Illinois, wanted to name me "Frosty." Being in the valley, it stuck as "Cotton." Again, thank God it wasn't "Frosty." That's really how I got it. I had white hair when I was young.

Guessing that's Chris Gilbert on the right.  Is Bill Bradley #18 ??
