Players from the Top of the Second MLB Draft (1966) Who Found Their Way onto a Kellogg's Card

I know that the football and basketball drafts are a lot different than the baseball draft.  Lots of baseball Hall of Famers have been drafted in late rounds or not drafted at all.

After seeing the card below on a stack of cards, I ended up looking up information on Wayne Twitchell and it was noted that he was selected in the first round of the 1966 draft immediately after Reggie Jackson.  That made me want to look and see who else was drafted near the top of this class.

Reggie was drafted second and Wayne was third.  Ken Brett was drafted fourth.  That's three guys in a row who worked out okay or better.

Number one pick that year?  Steve Chilcott, who played seven years in the minors, mostly with the Mets.  The Cubs were fifth and their pick didn't make it to the Big Leagues either.

Gary Nolan (13th), Richie Hebner (15th) and Carlos May (18th) also found their way into my box of Frosted Flakes.  

Steve Garvey was 60th of the 828 players drafted.  I'm going to see if I can link my Kellogg's database the MLB draft database.

Geoff Zahn found himself on a card even though he was drafted 656th.  There were plenty of players drafted after him to make it to the big leagues, but he was the lowest one drafted that year to have Tony the Tiger on the back of his card.
