Dal Maxvill
Dal Maxill was the starting shortstop on the World Champion St Louis Cardinals teams of the 1960s. He was a good fielder but a weak hitter but with hitters like Lou Brock, Curt Flood, Roger Maris and Orlando Cepeda in the lineup, the Cardinals had enough hitting. In 1984 h became the General Manger of the Cardinals.

Ken played shortstop for the 1970 Detroit Tigers playing in 47 games
Jim Donohue
Jim started in the St Louis Cardinals organization. He came up to the major leagues in 1961 with the Detroit Tigers but was traded to the Los Angeles Angels during the season.
George Woodson
George never pitched in the major leagues but he did appear on a 1969 Topps Cleveland Indians Rookie Stars card so his name will live forever. Usually I try to make at least 3 cards of a player but this was the only photo of George I had, so I colorized it.
Charlie Spikes
Charley originally was with the Yankees but he got traded to the Cleveland Indians in the big deal for Graig Nettles. He became a starting outfielder for the Indians the next four seasons.
