Grover Hartley is one of ten players named "Grover" to play in the major leagues. There has been only two since the 1930s:  Grover Powell, who appeared in twenty games for the Mets in 1963, and Deacon Jones, whose given name was Grover, who appeared in forty games for the White Sox in 1962-63 and 1966.  I guess nobody names their kid "Grover" anymore.

Dick Greco played twelve seasons in the minors, hitting 328 home runs, but never got a chance in the majors.

Red Rush was a radio broadcaster for the White Sox, the Athletics, and the Cardinals.

Mike Reilly was a major league umpire from 1977-2010.
