You’ve heard their names a thousand times. Cobb, Ruth, Mantle, and Mays. Echoing from the stadium loudspeaker, on classic t.v. rebroadcasts, or directly from your father’s lips, the stars of baseball’s past continue to live on in the hearts and minds of baseball fans everywhere.

He was the fastest man from home to first (Mantle), he had the most devastating curveball you’d ever seen (Koufax). But one man, on one team, can only accomplish so much. A team consists of 25 players (give or take), over 162 games (give or take), and the greatest memories of baseball’s past come from the common players, at the most uncommon of times.
