Default Who is your favorite obscure baseball player?

Posted By: DMcD

When I first read this thread I thought: Ho! Jay's back!? Peter's back!? Then I checked the dates. Anyway it's a good topic and was resurrected by the heretofore obscure and mysterious Mr. Walker's granddaughter so what the hey! By popular demand here is a Peter C. topic for you: which would you rather be, a Mayflower descendant or the distant relly of an old ballplayer? Me, I'd go with the ballplayer.

Borrowing Kevin's idea, favorite All-Time Obscure Ballplayer:

Favorite obscure pre-war player, Waipahu's favorite son, Prince Oana:

In accord with Joe B., favorite (obscure) post-war player, Moose Skowron. Not all that obscure however. Seven-time All-Star played on some dominant Yankee teams and never got traded to Kansas City. That's his infallibly-alleged 1957 game-used cap on the shelf.


Interesting interview:
