Old-Timer's Day, Cincinnati 1932
Posted By: Jodi Birkholm
The strangest thing about these reunions is that a few of the "former major leaguers" listed never actually played! I've often scratched my head at this. Were they con men, like that guy who pretended to be Buckwheat? The one I can recall offhand is Bert Baumgartner. He is listed as having played for two major league teams, but I certainly can't find any major or minor league record for this man. It's not Stan Baumgartner, and can't be in reference to Harry Baumgartner. I had this Baumgartner fellow's signature on the back of the poster, and it doesn't match up with Stan's. I don't think there is a Harry Baumgartner autograph extant. The only relation between the mysterios Bert and the well-known Stan is that both apparently spent time pitching for the Phillies. Can anyone figure this one out?
