Outfielder Robert Calvin "Bob" Jenkins was on the Boston Red Sox spring roster in 1956, He hit .340 that spring, but wasn't about to make the team, when up against an outfield crew of Ted Williams, Jimmy Piersall, Jackie Jensen, Dick Gernert, Gene Stephens, and Faye Throneberry. Bob Jenkins played in the minors for ten years and ended up with a batting average of .302. I'm posting his photo in tribute because he died five days ago on October 5. He is shown here in a 1957 Los Angeles Angels uniform.
