For one brief period in the early 1940s, Pete Reiser was the equal
of any outfielder in baseball, even Ted Williams and Joe DiMaggio,
but his penchant for running into outfield walls while playing
defense prematurely ended his journey to Cooperstown. Pitcher Herb
Score was a brilliant pitcher until a Gil McDougald line drive
shelved his career. And Thurman Munson was one of the games best
catchers in the late 1970s until a tragic plane crash ended his
life. These three players and fourteen others (Smoky Joe Wood, Vean
Gregg, Kirby Puckett, Hal Trotsky, Tony Oliva, Paul Dean, Ewell
Blackwell, David Ferris, Steve Busby, J.R. Richard, Tony
Conigliaro, Johnny Beazley, Mark Fidrych, and Lyman Bostock)
enjoyed brilliant careers--potentially worthy of the Hall of
Fame--that were cut short by injury, illness or death. Some enjoyed
several seasons of success only to see their playing days end just
short of numbers worthy of Cooperstown; others enjoyed only a
season or two of brilliance. The profiles concentrate on the
players accomplishments and speculate on how their careers might
have developed if they had continued.
