Pitcher Jake Levy had a minor league career that started in 1921 and lasted until 1945. He played under a variety of names, making it difficult to determine his true record, but he won at least two hundred games. He was also a good hitter, and early in his career played in the field when he was not pitching.
Augie Garrido was the baseball coach at the University of Texas from 1997-2016. He has the most coaching wins of anyone in Division I.
Larry Young was a major league umpire from 1983-2007.
You may have heard of that "Babe Ruth" fellow.
