Whoa! Who is Buddy Myers and how come I've never heard of him? Going to go to baseball-reference.com right now and check him out. Mike Epstein? Really? Bloomberg was one of my favorite players of all time. When I was in high school, I took three years of printing and when I had a section on the big press, I wanted to make a scorebook to keep score of games. I had a picture of Bloomberg and wanted him on the cover. The instructor said it couldn't be done and it wouldn't work. I not only got it to work, it was gorgeous. Ha! Who knew that 35 years later I would be printing my own books. Anyway, great list again, Josh. Thanks!
Buddy Myer was a great second baseman from the 30's. He is largely forgotten today. Arguably has HoF numbers.
I took a semester of graphic arts in high school and also used a printing press. Not exactly efficient by today's standards, but a rewarding experience nonetheless.
Thanks, William. What can I say? I like making lists! :)
