We can't forget about Moonlight Graham either. He was in Field of Dreams but his story was true and he was a real ballplayer. He played in one game for the Giants and never got to the plate and then retired and became a doctor. I am definitely going to sign him to my team and make sure he gets an at bat. I can see him now, standing in the batters box, just as the pitcher starts his wnd up, Graham winks...to make the pitcher think he knows something the pitcher doesn't. The he laces a ball towards the gap and stretches a doule into a triple and slides into third with his arms around and hugging the bag. There is also the Whammer who a young Roy Hobbs struck out. Apparently he played in Chicago but they never really gave his name. He looked like the representation of Babe Ruth. There is always Bump Bailey who died tragically, a great catch that almost was
