Ping Bodie. Ryne Duren. Matt Batts. Moe Berg. Eppa Rixey. Rixey was the career leader in wins by a lefthander until Warren Spahn came along. Served in WW I. A HOFer but somehow still obscure.

I used to work for Norm Corey, brother of "Professor" Irwin Corey, for those old enough to remember him. Norm's favorite player was Ping Bodie. He had a twin brother named Pong. (smiley face here).

Faye Throneberry. The only player I ever saw who looked 75 on his baseball card.

Louis Loudermilk, of course.
