Kevin Cummings"The Old Perfesser" wasn't a great player (certainly not HOF caliber), but he was more than serviceable. He was a good fielder (he personally taught Mickey Mantle how to play the outfield wall caroms in Ebbetts Field before the Yakns played the Dodgers there in the World Series) and he was a great World Series performer himself.
Plus, how can you not love a guy who comes up with quotes like:
"Being with a woman all night never hurt no professional baseball player. It's staying up all night looking for a woman that does him in."
