This is around the time I seriously started to follow baseball (I am 28) and I see some familiar names on that roster including Bill Spiers, Doug Henry, George Canale and Randy Veres.
Thanks for responding Rob...

Here's a tidbit about George Canale: He and I golfed together a lot (he was a very good golfer). In baseball, he hit left-handed, and he golfed right-handed. I golf left-handed, and one day on the course we were messing around, and he asked to borrow one of my clubs.
He took three swings left-handed and whiffed every time. And looked bad doing it. I was amazed. How could someone who was a really good left-handed hitter, plus a really good golfer, not be able to hit a golf ball left-handed?
George also was the best fielding first baseman I ever saw up close.
