And, speaking of Buffs with famous relatives, here's John Hernandez (father of Keith) for the 1947 Houston team.

You may note that, unlike the pic of "Juan" (as Keith called him) with OKC in 1948-49 that's posted back in the thread, Hernandez isn't wearing glasses here. That's because he didn't develop blurred vision until after the 1947 season. Allegedly, the glasses he was given were an improper prescription, and by the time the issue was resolved, Hernandez had lost his chance of going any farther than the Texas League and had even suffered damage to his eyes. So always check your specs, I expect.
