The name escapes me.... but I think he made the club and stuck around for a while. I am sure there was someone behind him that felt they were more deserving. How many of them made it to Cooperstown?
I played with AND against the son of a former MLB all-star, who then went on to coach for several organizations. His son was no MLB player, in fact was not a particularly gifted HS player, but he did get drafted in the VERY late rounds by the team his father was w/at the time, and never played an inning in either the minors OR college. BUT, he could put being drafted on his resume I guess...
