I hope deeply that his being portrayed as a buffoon in Moneyball didn't contribute to his spiral.

I missed this post when it first went up. You don't say about Cumberland and 1971. I played the '71 Strat-o-Matic set for many years. It was my first and main set. And in the '71 NL, I remember, there were two "under the radar" pitchers that were terrific assets to have in a draft league, but lacking the big name recognizability, even in those times. Bruce Kison was one and Cumberland was the other. Well, the Giants won their division in '71 and a team usually doesn't do that by getting good performances from just their stars. Cumberland was pretty good in '71. And then of course, they had two HOF pitchers in Marichal and Perry, too.

Outfielder James "Cowboy" Atterbury played with the Philadelphia Stars during the waning years of the Negro League. When the Stars were no more, Cowboy was scouted by the legendary Buck O'Neil to the Cubs organization, where he played for through most of the 60's, finishing his career in the Angels organization.

Ronnie Mergenthaler, Shea Stadium and Citi Field vendor. If you were any kind of game-going regular in the 1990s, 2000s or 2010s, chances are Ronnie and his beer tray were extremely familiar.

Also invented the Nutty Buddy. And was, at least as far as I was concerned, a Strat-O-Matic superstar. The man's card destroyed lefties. Unfortunately, it wasn't the card that pitched to Chambliss.

After the MFYs unsuccessfully tried to play him in the outfield, sportswriter Dick Young called him "Hector, what a pair of hands, Lopez". But everything I've read about him said he was a good guy. RIP. Later

Comic and Friars Club macher Freddie Roman, 85, posted here in deference to his stellar job MC'ing a Hot Stove dinner I attended following the 1999 season, where he praised the Mets and their postseason run to the high heavens. I kept waiting for the punch line, but he was quite sincere in his Met-Lovin' Big Shottery.

I was stationed at Ft. Belvoir, Va. in 1966 and remember Valentine. He was the first African-American player I ever saw on a TV commercial. It was for Tasty-Cake (pre- packaged pastries - think Sara Lee or Entemans). I remember his one line of dialogue: "This is Fred Valentine, and I'm making the T sign, for Tasty Cake cakes and pies".
