Dominic Scala
Dom Scala was a curious case. This catcher was a minor league player in the Oakland A's system in 1976 and 1977. He was a non-roster invitee as a player to the New York Yankees' spring camp in 1979. He won a world championship ring with the Yankees in 1978, but never played in a major league game. How did he do that? He was the Yankees' bullpen catcher all that season. I last located him as the head baseball coach at Adelphi University in 2012.
