Not a lot of this brief Twins' righthander, part of one of the weirder trivia notes in baseball history.

On Opening Day of 1967, there were 17 pitchers named Jim on major league rosters. Six of them: Grant, Kaat, Merritt, Ollom, Perry, and Roland, were with the Minnesota Twins. The Twins had six pitchers named Jim, and only five that weren’t.
