Bob Feller once said Hemsley was a better catcher drunk than most catchers who were sober. And he was apparently drunk a lot. Found his way to AA late in his career and stopped drinking, but became controversial within AA for breaking the anonymity tradition as a spokesperson for it.

His baseball career never lived up to early high expectations. He ended up in jail a few times and during a post baseball career as a cab driver was robbed twice and shot

This was a guy who hung around, a lot. In a 19 year career he spent parts of 7 years in the majors playing in a total of 93 games

Only took the As 6 1/2 years after the Dodgers signed Robinson to sign their first black ballplayer. Shoulder issues sidelined his career. He played some semi pro basketball after retiring from baseball

This card is actually special to me. When I was 12 years old in 1982 I had picked this card out of a Becket price guide and requested it at our local card shop. The card shop was an hour drive away, which back then made it pretty much inaccessible...so visits there were rare. I wanted an OLD card and I wanted something from an OLD team...the shop had the card and at school I was a hero for having something from 1954! I don't remember what I paid, but I do remember it took most of my budget that day. Through the years I never would get rid of this card...and it sits in my set today. Cards have come and gone...not this one. And won't. Was looking forward to posting it!

Lucky guy...Dick got a World Series ring as a rookie for the Yankees in 1949 before being traded away after the season...

Mike was part of a 17 player trade after the 54 season between the Yankees and Orioles. Mike was the only player involved in that trade who never played another MLB game

Rube replaced Campanella after the accident but could not hit a lick and was replaced by Roseboro. Credited with helping transform the 1969 Miracle Mets pitching staff
