Fred Mann
Maybe not the most interesting n172 subject, but this is a well written bio of Fred Mann on SABR...

Harry Whiteacre never played pro ball, just an amateur player on the right day at the right time. Only took 120 years to figure out who he actually was...

Wow, great thread!
Since I've decided that I'm not going to collect Cal League OJs (not because they're rare and expensive, simply because I don't want to  ) I've found players that once played in the California League, then made the majors to be interesting to me. These guys are the first of many of the best players that played in the cal league, and later the PCL, to be pillaged by the majors. California Brown and George Van Haltran are two easier ones.Peak-a-boo Veach has a cool story. I'd love to have one of his cards someday... Even if it meant eating out of a can for a couple years It's hard to beat Art Irwin's story... What an interesting life he had. Since there is no Irwin card in this thread, here's mine: Last edited by Matthew H; 06-09-2013 at 11:10 PM.
