McDaniel was a 12-year minor league veteran with 233 minor league homers and a '59 Topps "Rookie Star" card under his belt when the Colts brought him to camp and gave him a look at first and the outfield in '62. He never made it.
He was
not one of "the" McDaniel brothers, though the '62 Colts had one of those too (Von, attempting to convert from pitcher to 3B).
