 You might also enjoy my cartoons.  

1.    Max McGee.  Max was always a clutch receiver so it’s fitting he went out that way.

2.    Ron Hunt.  Ron was one of the first good players the Mets developed.

3.    Gene Mauch and Roy Smalley Jr.  The situation didn’t seem to affect either one of them.

4.    Harry Howell.  Harry Was one of those old fashioned defensemen who played defense and scored two or three goals a year.

5.    Steve Owens and Billy Sims.  Billy Sims did it with a lot more flair than Steve Owens did.

6.    Milt Pappas.  Milt was a good, but not great starter.  Even the no-hitter he pitched for the Cubs was anticlimactic.  He walked the Padres Larry Stahl with two outs in the ninth inning to lose a perfect game.

7.    Gary Garrison.  After Alworth was trade, Garrison was the man for the Chargers. 

8.    Jim Nance.  Nance was a punishing inside runner.

9.    John Lucas.  John was an outstanding point guard for a number of NBA teams as well as a head coach.  I believe John’s the only guy who played in both the NBA and pro tennis.

10. Wilbur Wood.  Good news and bad news.  The good news is Wilbur won a lot of games.  The bad news was he also lost a lot of games.
