I'm looking for photo of Cards '68 number one draft pick Butch Hairston. Injuries it appears limited him to 280 games over a 5 year minor league career. Never made it out of A ball. I found his obituary and a photo of Hairston in later years. It seems his many academic accomplishments and career accomplishments made his baseball life a footnote.

Also I am searching for one of my favorite almost Cardinals , OF Rogers Robinson. I love the name and I am intrigued by his minor league stats.A .298 hitter with power and speed. Did he not have not talent to play at the upper levels or did the Cardinals never give him enough AAA at bats to prove himself? As a lifelong Cardinals fan I wish he at least could have had a cup of coffee. If I may ask for one more possibility: 3B Quique Rivera who unlike Coco Laboy , never got a look.
