Orlando Pena (78) -Reds reliever in the late '50s who went on to play 14 seasons in the bigs. I had his baseball card one year and he looked 78 back then; Lord knows what he looks like now.
Adding Ray Lamanno...a catcher for the Reds in 1941 and 1942. Then served in the US Navy '43 thru '45. Returned to play '46 thru '48. He was part of the 1946 All-Star squad and he caught Ewell Blackwell's no-hitter in 1947.
