Cy Young was my great (on and on) Uncle. Bio One of the most consistent and durable pitchers the game has ever known, Denton True "Cy" Young won 511 games - almost 100 more than any other pitcher in history. He won 30 games five times and topped 20 wins an astounding 15 times. In 1901 Young had his best season and became the fledgling American League's first superstar, leading the junior circuit in wins, strikeouts and ERA. In 1903, he won two games in the first modern World Series to help Boston to the championship. http://baseballhalloffame.org/hofers_and_honorees/hofer_bios/young_cy.htm

Charles Carroll (1737-1832) of Maryland - One of the signers of the Declaration of Independence, and the one who died last. I actually was a member of the DAR (Daughters of the American Revolution) for a while since we have records to prove the relation. Unfortunately, I did not inherit any of the Carroll fortune. :)
