A look at Garden State-born Major League Baseball Players. Some you will know and some are unknown to us all, but represented Jersey in the show.

Career Highlight: With SF, pinched hit for Don Larsen in the 1962 World Series and grounded into a double play off Whitey Ford. Was the full-time starting catcher for the Orioles in 1963, belting 19 home runs.
When your highlight is hitting into a double play... Good stuff Vin! Looking forward to more.
ReplyDeleteAin't that the truth Joel, but he made it to the show and played in the WS!!!
