Youngest Players on a Kellogg's Baseball Card to "Retire"

I was reading something that made me think about players whose last game happened when they were young.  In writing this blog one goal is to be able to keep using my database analysis tools.  I had to run some queries to come up with this question - I didn't just look it up online.

Why did I have to do this as a query?  The question only applies to players who have appeared on a Kellogg's baseball card.

Here is the question.  Can you name the seven players who appeared on a Kellogg's baseball card and didn't play another game in the majors past age 26?  I would have only been correct on three of them.
I will skip a day and show the answers on Friday.

  1. two for two. I don't know if Les also went by Lea or if that was just a typo, but nice work. I thought there was at least one more easy one.

  2. Another one correct. I was reading about him when I decided to check on this. I had previously posted about him as one of two players who got a Kellogg's card after his last MLB game. J.R. Richard was the other guy.

  3. Dave was young enough but he never got a Kellogg's card.

  4. Nice work. That's two more good ones.
