1. Joe Barry Carroll. Regardless of what you may think of Joe, in seven season with Golden State, he averaged 20.4 ppg. He played with four more teams after leaving the Warriors, but not nearly as effectively.

2. Gary Matthews. Gary had a long career with a number of teams, but the 1984 campaign was his best. His OBP was a league leading .410 and he led the NL with 10 sacrifice flies.

3. Manny Sangullen. In 12 seasons with the Pirates, Manny had an OPS of .733 while providing excellent defense.

4. Truck Robinson. For a few years Truck was good for over 20 points and 10 rebounds a game.

5. Turk Farrell. All together, Turk spent 14 seasons in the bigs and put together a record of 106-111 with an ERA of 3.45.

6. Vada Pinson. Vada was a great line drive hitter who twice led the NL in doubles and led the league in triples two more times. He finished his career with a batting average of .286.

7. Bill Munson. Bill spent 16 seasons in the NFL, starting 66 games. Munson seems like the epitome of a journeyman NFL QB.

8. Dennis Potvin. Potvin was pretty much everything you’d want in a defenseman

9. Ron Fairly. Ron was a member of the Dodgers during the 60s but did his best work with the Expos in the early to mid 70s.
