Reggie mentioned Lee Meyers at the very end, who was a very interesting character even though he never made it to the Majors. Meyers was married to blonde bombshell Mamie Van Doren for a short time, when he was trying to make the Cubs in 1966 during spring training it was Leo Durocher (I think) who told the media that Meyers was about to inherit millions of dollars which Meyers didn’t like at all because he wanted to keep that secret, he played with Reggie Jackson in Birmingham in 1967 like Reggie mentioned, and he died in a car wreck in 1972 after he had given up professional baseball.
