Schlei was definitely playing out the string at this point. He played two seasons in Memphis at ages 36 and 37. He batted .234 against Single A pitching. It had to be a blow to the ego after being in the "Bigs".
Dolly Stark, at least managed to hit .268 in his one year at Memphis He was only 29 but would never sniff the Majors again. He played another 8 years though, finishing up for the Class C Okmulgee OK Drillers at 37.
