Taken from Wikipedia

"Lawrence King "Larry" Yount (born February 15, 1950 in Houston, Texas) is a former professional baseball player. Yount (whose younger brother is Hall of Famer Robin Yount) holds the unique distinction of being the only pitcher in Major League Baseball history to appear in the official record books without ever actually having faced a batter. In his only major league appearance on September 15, 1971, he had to leave the game during his warm-up pitches due to injury."

But He did do something infamous in Brooklyn Dodger History. That is me on the right. & ( yes am I old enought to have rooted for da bums) It would be fun to see if you young whipersnappers can guess who it is & what he is infamous for. this pic was taken in 1987. Fred Young is barred from the contest since he knows who it is.

Lets see if you young whipersnappers can guess who this is. ?? again Fred Young is barred..lol He has seen the pic. He did something famous in Dodger history, unlike my last post.

I actually did this on an another message board a few years ago (Pat Neshek's message board). I didnt have a scanner at the time, so I took pictures of the old proof pics. Got some flack for them not coming out the greatest. But here they are!

Bob Feller signing at a local mall. I am pretty sure this was the Fall of 1989. I have posted some pictures of a multisigned HOF program. Well this was Feller being the first one to sign it.



Billy Williams signing at Tunnicliffe Inn (back before MAB did the signings there. I am pretty sure it was Jack Berke at the time).



Joe Pepitone in front of 7th Inning Stretch in Cooperstown.



Paul Blair in back of TJ's place in Cooperstown
