Todd (nolemmings)Anyone know what became of Pancho Herrera? I always found it strange that the guy has a 1961 Topps high-numbered All-Star card, a stamp and a rub-off but no regular issue card from that year. How did Topps miss that? Just as mysteriously, the guy never played in the Big Leagues after 1961--nada, zilch. So the guy goes from an all-star to out of the game, just like that. Was there some sort of horrible accident?
The "sources" show he's still alive, so what gives?
On a related topic from the 60's, anyone have info on Tony Horton? The guy played several seasons in the mid-late 60s and 1970, then poof, gone from the show at age 26. Never appeared on a Topps card, either...why is that?
I realize these guys are rather modern players, but surely the collective intelligence of this board can slake my curiosity. Any info appreciated.
