Pekin had a minor league baseball club from 1909 to 1913 (with a ‘big oof” nickname). Can’t figure out what “Aleck” is supposed to mean. Smart Aleck? There’s no one on this roster with that name (nor anyone with even the initial A that could be hiding it as a first or middle name)Report
Aleck is someone we will be seeing with frequency. I believe its own character (a la Skinnay) though perhaps you can find something if you look for “Alex” which I think he has also been referred to.Report
