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 is the baseball coach at the University of Texas and has the most coaching wins of anyone in Division I.
Larry Young has been a major league umpire since 1983.
You may have heard of that "Babe Ruth" fellow.
