Cal Hubbard was an American League umpire from 1936-1951.
He is in the Baseball Hall of Fame, the Pro Football Hall of Fame, and
the College Football Hall of Fame.
Dave Trembley was the manager of the Baltimore Orioles from
2007-2010.
David Dellucci was drafted by Minnesota in the eleventh round in
1994, but did not sign.
Right-hander James Thomas
Donohue made six appearances for the Twins in 1962. He was born in St. Louis,
and the Cardinals signed the home town boy as a free agent in 1956. He pitched
pretty well in the minors, especially when you consider that the Cardinals
could never make up their mind whether he should be a starter or a reliever,
using him in both roles every year. In June of 1960, St. Louis traded Donohue
to the Dodgers for John Glenn. The Tigers took him in the Rule 5 draft the
following off-season, and after pitching well for them in 14 appearances, he
was traded to the Angels. He did fairly well for them out of the bullpen as
well, getting five saves at a time when many teams did not have a closer as we
know it today. In May of 1962, Donohue was traded to the Twins for Don Lee. He
made six appearances with the Twins, starting once. He worked 10.1 innings,
posting an ERA of 6.97, and then went back to the minors, never to return to
the big leagues. He was in the Twins' system for two more years, but was out of
baseball after 1964. No information about what happened to Jim Donohue after
that was readily available.
