Hudspeth, Robert
Nicknamed "Highpockets", presumably due to his height (6-4), Robert tragically died young of TB - aged just 41 - although he was out of the bigs by this time.
A good hitter and quick for his size, according to JAR his height was both an asset and liability at 1B, giving him good reach but making low throws problematic. In fact, he kind of comes across as the prototypical modern first-baseman. The MLEs aren't fans, so as per I have taken this into consideration and given him a fairly flat profile to accommodate his relatively late start at age 26.
