Damn you Richie Zisk for being so young! Rollie Zeider would have been just as easy to use if I only had known he existed.
Looks like Rollie was one of your guys from up Chicago way Shoeless. Only player to hit HOMERUNS for all three major league Chicago teams.
His nickname Bunion was the result of a spike wound when Detroit Tigers outfielder Sam Crawford spiked his "bunion" during a play. Zeider's bunion became a news item when he was traded after the injury and his new club, the New York Yankees, later protested that the White Sox had not informed them that Zeider was injured at the time of the trade.
