Chico Esquela was a Garrett Morris character (SNL) that coined the phrase, baseball been berra berra good to me. Tony Micelli played 2B for the Cards before becoming a housekeeper. It's a stretch, yes, but I challenge anyone to come up with a better choice at 2B. Joe Shlabotnik was the hero of Charlie Brown. Something always came up that prevented Charlie from meeting his hero. Shlabotnik was hit .004 for a season, getting one lone bloop hit. He later went on to manager and was fired after calling a suicide squeeze with no one on base.

There are a couple prominent names we passed on, see if you can point them out to us.

  2. Where is Bugs Bunny? He can play every position including pitcher and finished off them Gas House Gorillas all by himself. "Dats the ole pepper boy!"
