Even at the end, going into the World Series, they had two guys, Ralph Miller and Tommy Taylor, with barely a handful of major league appearances under their belts, which is nuts when you think about it. I believe they let coach Jack Chesbro go mid-season to fulfill a promise Griff had made to Al Schacht several years earlier, but I'd love to know the story of Egan, and why he came and went so quickly.

Hey Hank. I believe you forgot Nemo Liebold who I believe logged more games in left field than Taylor and Miller. Incidentally, he got the winning hit in in the 7th and decisive game of the ‘24 WS. I’m trying to recall who the winning pitcher was in that game but it just won’t come to me. 😎
who the winning pitcher was.
