Alvin McGrew
Outfielder Alvin McGrew was on the Cleveland Indians' 1972 spring roster. The eBay version of the Topps Vault incorrectly lists him as Alvin McGraw. He was a star basketball player at Parker High School in Birmingham, Alabama (All-Tournament player in 1969 and named to Post-Herald All-Stars). He probably could have become a professional basketball player, but chose pro baseball instead.
