Maurice Richard
NHL star Maurice "Rocket" Richard played quite a bit of fast semipro ball and one year of full pro ball in 1947 with the Drummondville Cubs of the Provincial League. Here he is in the uniform of the Lachine team of the semi-pro/independent version of the Provincial League. His Canadiens hockey team-mate Doug Harvey (not to be confused with the umpire of the same name) also played minor league pro ball but I have not found a picture of him in a baseball uniform.
