Urban renewal

This grainy image may best sum up the brief baseball career of this swing-and-miss batter, whose two-year stay in the low minors for the Atlanta Braves mercifully ends 40 years ago.

Worry not for the batter, then a 19-year-old shortstop from Ashtabula, Ohio, who turns 59 years old today.

You see, the batter – a career .182 hitter in only 44 pro games – eventually changes professions, goes into football and wins a couple of national college championships.

The batter? That would be Urban Meyer.
