The Brothers Frazier
HARDY FRAZIER -- RHP, Byrd High, Panola College, Texas A&M, a star in high school and the 1967 All-City Most Valuable Player in American Legion junior ball as a third baseman-pitcher for Ford, Walker and Hearne, he went on to play at Panola College in 1968 and '69, pitching the final three innings of the Ponies' national junior college championship. He batted .368, too, that regular season. He then pitched as a starter for Texas A&M, then signed with the Angels' organization. He pitched in nine games, 12 innings, for Idaho Falls (Pioneer League) in 1971, with a 1-0 record and 1.50 ERA, and singled in his only pro at-bat.
LARRY FRAZIER -- LHP, Northwood High and Panola College, younger brother of Hardy Frazier, signed as a free agent in the Milwaukee Brewers' system and was assigned to the hometown Shreveport Captains (Texas League) in 1972, nine games (two starts, one complete game), 1-1 record, 2.86 ERA, 22 innings.
An obvious error here in one photograph. I have captioned Larry Frazier as if he were playing for the Shreveport Shortstops but of course it is really the Shreveport Captains he played for. The Shreveport Shortstops is one of my fantasy minor league teams.
