Your original additions were quite good, but I just had to add Warren Spahn to the list. My parents took me to a game in 1957 in Milwaukee and Warren Spahn was pitching (he won the game). The most memorable sporting event I have ever attended.

Something not much remembered: Warren Spahn was a practical joker. He and his Braves rotation running mate Lew Burdette loved to play pranks-—including sending limousines to pick up opponents against whom they pitched well. (Joe Garagiola was a frequent recipient.)
