July 25, 201511 yr Duh. I was thinking not every post included a player. Roger that. my apologies The man with only letters for his name: U L Washington
July 25, 201511 yr I named Fred a while back. I read his bio when he passed away. Born in New Ulm and a resident of Sleepy Eye, he made one appearance with the '61 Twins and failed to retire a batter. No kidding. At the 1991 Hall of Fame ceremonies Patrick Reusse autographed my Sid Hartman close personal friend t-shirt. Someone confused his signature with Hall of Fame SS-Pee Wee Reese.
July 25, 201511 yr Continuing the Chamberlain reference, older brother of a player, Bobby, (who was a long-time pitching coach, right?) who was a Mallard, Mike Cuellar.

July 26, 201511 yr Houston Jimenez That would technically be strike 2. He was mentioned in the first page or two.
July 26, 201511 yr Hugh Duffy, whose 1894 season is still the Braves single season leader in BA, OBP, SLG, R, H, 2B, RBI, and runs created along with placing in the top 10 also in TB, 3B, and XBH over 120 years later.
July 26, 201511 yr Dan Gladden. I don't remember him much as a player, but the guy has really grown on my as an announcer since Provus stepped in. Those two have something special IMHO.
July 26, 201511 yr Koos got replicated too. This will only work if Dave edits his first post with an alphabetical listing every couple of hours for the next few months. Back on topic with an ex-Twin who I didn't know was an ex-Twin until a few days ago...Charley "Shooter" Walters.
July 26, 201511 yr Houston Jimenez Let's keep going with Twins shortstops who were automatic outs for $200, Alex. Who was Lenny Faedo?
July 26, 201511 yr Koos got replicated too. This will only work if Dave edits his first post with an alphabetical listing every couple of hours for the next few months.I admire the apparent OCD that would both detect the duplication, and offer this solution. Bad hitting shortstops? Nick Punto.

July 30, 201511 yr Not much Iowa representation- I Struck out Ryan Sweeney when he was a 9th grader to my Sr year. So Ryan Sweeney.
July 30, 201511 yr Another Iowan and Twins draftee (did not sign) that I played against in HS that faired better, we were ahead 6-3 in the B7th vs Marshaltown HS. Non-conference game, so had our 2nd teir pitchers going, as the bases were loaded w/ 2 outs. Up comes Jeff Clemente (Sea & Pit), as he blasts one over the right feild fence for the walk off. I see he also took over the HS record for most HR's from a player that was already mentioned, Drew Henson. Great Game.
