Notes:
Only in baseball.  In what other sport would an eccentric athlete gain notoriety for his love of the Dead Milkmen?  That was the first thing I ever knew about Jim Walewander, and was my introduction to the Dead Milkmen.  In a way, you could make an argument that this light-hitting, 160 pound backup middle infielder could have been partially responsible for my discovery of punk rock.
