The evidence based on the public records is conclusive. <BR/><BR/>The Sweasy living in Texas is also identifiable from public records and it can easible be proven that he wasn't Sweasy the ballplayer. The guy was a liquor salesman who lived most of his life in the southwest.<BR/><BR/>I'm not sure if Sweasy the liquor salesman claimed to be Sweasy the ballplayer or if it was just a big misunderstanding but he defintely was not Sweasy the ballplayer.Jeffrey Kittelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02367989375750209078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5985668569918053928.post-74290011838351786672007-10-22T11:07:00.000-05:002007-10-22T11:07:00.000-05:00Do we really know which guy was the right Charlie ...Do we really know which guy was the right Charlie Sweasy? I have no idea, but the idea that the guy who died in 1908 was misidentified by some later researcher is not implausible. We would have to check out obituaries of the 1908 Sweasy and see what they say.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
