Coincidence that three of these players would be the precursors to another generation of major league ballplayers?
Willie Mays is the godfather of Barry Bonds; Roy Smalley's son, Roy Smalley Jr, would go on to have a nice MLB career; and of course Frank Thomas would blaze the trail for another, though larger, Frank Thomas.
