Tommy Brown, who is still alive, was with the Dodgers from 1944 - 1951. He missed 1946 when he was finally old enough to be drafted! He was the youngest position player in history and the second youngest overall to Nuxhall. Seems like a forgotten figure. Interesting note, since he had two years of major league service the Dodgers had to either hope he cleared waivers, or leave him on the major league roster. This was intended to protect veterans from losing their position through no fault of their own. The Dodgers liked his potential (still only 19 after the war!) but being an occasional player killed his development. He kicked around for a few years after he left the Dodgers but never really panned out. Whenever he was in the minors he hit quite well.
