I would presume that Corky was 3rd string. Regardless, my son wanted to see Junior...I was there to see Adam Dunn. Corky is a legend in Louisville because of all the years he spent there in AAA.

I remembered him only because he was one of those limited ability guys who I always root for, and he is one of two Corky's (the basketball playing Calhoun being the other) that I know of... I guess Sosa could have gotten it as a nickname... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rico Posted May 4, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2020 What actor who was in "Stargate" was in the Angels organization as a player? His father also played minor league ball(as well as owning a minor league team) and had a recurring role in a TV western series. His nephew played for the Cubs.
