I think that would be Hank Bowory (I cheated and looked it up on Wiki). Awesome.
Nope, wrong player.
That is pretty cool to be the first player on the cover of Baseball Digest. He really had a long career.

Actually not a whole lot, even the signed ones (except for some of the really old ones in pristine condition). I’ve got a bunch from numerous years. I also had some of his uniforms, bats and gloves which somehow got lost over the years.

My 13 year old daughter stood in her softball uniform with the catcher at home plate during the National Anthem LV Iron Pigs game the other day (Triple-A affiliate of the Philadelphia Phillies). They showed a close-up of her on the giant screen at Coca-Cola Park for much of the anthem. She was mortified (she had rushed before the game and didn’t do her hair or put makeup on). I got to utter that immortal phrase... “THERE'S NO CRYING IN BASEBALL!”
Red Sox just traded Jon Lester and Jonny Gomes to the A's. I'm more upset about Gomes going than Lester. I liked him!!
I'll see you your OFF and raise you a Steven Strasburg.
