Steve Kraly
Although Kraly was offered a contract with the New York Mets in 1961, he declined, as he wanted to have more time with his wife and children. Although Kraly hasn't been in Major League baseball for over 60 years, he still receives fan mail, he was even asked to give information for Kenneth Hogan's book, Batting 10th for the Yankees: Recollection of 30 Yankees You May Not Remember. Steve Kraly's rookie baseball card and only card was his 1955 Topps Card #139. In 2004 Topps asked Kraly to be in their 2004 Topps Heratige "Authentic Signature" Insert Series, he remembers that he was asked to sign the first 50 of his 450 cards in red ink.

Triple play
There have been only three players in Major League Baseball with the name Aurelio: Aurelio Rodriguez, Aurelio Lopez and Aurelio Monteagudo. All three were sadly killed in car accidents. They are enshrined in their national Baseball Halls of Fame—Rodriguez and Lopez in Mexico, and Monteagudo in Venezuela. Rodriguez won the golden glove in 1976 and Lopez was an All-Star in 1983. Rodriguez's 1969 Topps card actually depicts Dodgers batboy Leonard Garcia.

Ground Control (Work in Progress)
Gaylord Perry, baseball Hall of Fame pitcher and known spitballer, debuted his career in 1962. A year later, in 1963, his manager Alvin Dark joked "they'll put man on the moon before Gaylord Perry hits a home run." Of course, in 1963, people thought men landing on the moon was impossible. In 1969, seven years after Gaylord Perry's debut and 20 minutes after Neil Armstrong landed on the moon, Perry hit his first home run.
