Earle Brucker Sr.
Earle Brucker was a catcher who played for five years in the major leagues with the Philadelphia Athletics, between 1937 to 1943. When he first broke in, he was a 36-year-old rookie. He is the father of Earle Brucker, Jr. Their major league debuts were separated by only 11 years, a record. Earle, Jr. broke in at age 22 in 1948 with his father's team, the A's, only five years after his father played his last season. After his playing days, Brucker spent nine seasons as an Athletics coach, in 1942 and from 1946 to 1949. Brucker owned some land in El Cajon, CA, and built a baseball stadium there in 1955, hoping to interest the Detroit Tigers in putting a farm team there. When that did not happen, it was converted into a football stadium, and a motorcycle race track was put in it. - bRef Bullpen wiki
Redid the facegen. Started with the picture of him as a coach and then the smoothing had the effect of making him look younger.
