I just read an article on Ed "Doc" Edellen, who at the age of 20 pitched in two games for the 1932 Washington Senators. Edellen quit baseball after a short stint in the minors the following year to study medicine full-time. By 1938 he had graduated and began his medical practice in rural La Plata, Maryland. He spent the next four and a half decades until his death as a country doctor, who sometimes accepted farm produce as payment instead of cash. He remained an avid baseball fan and played semi-pro ball until his mid-40s, but he never regretted his career decision of medicine over sports. Does anyone have any photos of "Doc" Edellen?
