#42 - Cookie Rojas
Of course I still call him Cookie Ro-Jazz since that is how my brother said his name.
Movies make for a different hobby than the usual sports.
Not on the card - I would never had known that he got MVP votes in three different seasons including one with Philadelphia.
#41 - Sparky Lyle
The back of his card actually mentions the oddity of him always being groomed as a relief pitcher. It mentions that he has not started a game in the majors. I think I mentioned that in a previous post.
#40 - Chris Speier
Not many guys have three consecutive vowels in their name. Let's not count the guys like Meyer where the y is definitely a consonant. It's been a long time since fourth grade, sorry. I will address this in a future post.
He was a starting shortstop at age 20. He's said to be one of the best hitting shortstops in the game.
Not on the card - he played a long time (1971 - 1989) for a guy who never hit 15 homers or 71 RBIs again.
He was an all-star in 1972, 1973 and 1974.
