I haven't a clue

 

[Cedrique]

Wait, was Gilligan a Hall of Fame Pitcher?

 

[northeastphillyguy]

Bob Gibson? And while Im at it I'm gonna guess Josh Gibson

Very good. Yes!

 

[Cedrique]

Very good. Yes!

[northeastphillyguy]

Very good. Yes!

Not Josh Gibson. The remaining pitcher was originally on the Phillies.

Charles Hudson?


just kidding. For some reason I am picturing whoever it is as a black guy though

 

[Cedrique]

Fergie Jenkins?

 

[northeastphillyguy]

Fergie Jenkins?

You are right! He spent many years with the Cubs. The Phillies didn't know what they had!

 

[Cedrique]

yeah, he probably would have been useful to have

 

[northeastphillyguy]

Jenkins was also the first Canadian elected to the hall of fame. He played for the globetrotters for 3 off seasons.
Players often had off season jobs back then to subsidize their incomes.

Not him, unless he had a mask on!

Nah, no wonder he looked so confused when I asked for his autograph. Plus I don't think the real Ruiz walks around in the offseason wearing a shirt that says "Chooch" on the back

The real Chooch has a picture of a glove on his back with an arrow pointing to the middle of the glove; it says; throw ball here!

 

[Cedrique]

Also a baggie of crushed adderrall and a rolled up $100 bill.

• Played 18 years with one team, and then his final season with a different team
• A certain Hall of Fame left fielder was sent to scout this player, but ended up passing on him because "his hands were too small for a catcher"
• At the time of his retirement, he held the career records for catchers in home runs, runs batted in, hits, doubles and in most games played as a catcher
• He took a picture with Al Capone, and commissioner Kenesaw Mountain Landis told him not do it again. This player responded, "OK, but if you don't want me to have my picture taken with Al Capone, you tell him"
• His career mark for doubles stood until 1983, when Ted Simmons broke it
