Pitcher Bill Barkley was a non-roster invitee to the Washington Senators' spring camp in 1955. The attached photo shows him with the baseball team of Gardner-Webb University. It comes from the website of Barkley Baseball in Hickory, NC. The website is at
Barkley Baseball
My guess is that Bill is the father of former major leaguer Jeff Barkley, Sr. However, when I called the phone number of Barkley Baseball, the woman who answered said that Bill and Jeff Sr. are brothers. That doesn't make a lot of sense to me, because there is a 31 year age difference between the two of them. (Bill born in 1928; Jeff Sr. born in 1959). Within the Barkley Baseball website, it mentions Bill playing in the Fifties and Jeff Sr. in the Eighties. Jeff, Jr., was also a professional ballplayer. He pitched in the St. Louis Cardinals' minor league system in 2014.
