A few more, some new, some previously mentioned from an article cited below.


Stan Musial sold Christmas trees from a parking lot alongside his St. Louis Cardinals teammates Red Schoendienst, Marty Marion and Terry Moore during the late 1940s.

Roy Campanella owned and operated a Harlem liquor store throughout his playing career.

Al Jackson, a member of the inaugural 1962 Mets team, sold men’s suits at Howard Clothes in New York.

Jim Palmer was the youngest player to ever throw a shutout in a World Series. He then started selling men’s clothes at Hamburgers in Baltimore.

Palmer arrived at the store every morning at 9, sold suits, signed some autographs and went out to lunch with the other sales representatives. It was nothing out of the ordinary. One of his Orioles teammates, he recalled, made steering wheels at a General Motors plant. Another was a part-time social worker.
