Turk Wendell
by Ken Ecker (Watseka, IL)
I remember Turk Wendell as a flake with the Cubs when he first came up to the majors. Instead of chewing tobacco, he took the mound with a jaw full of black licorice. After jumping over the foul line at the end of the inning, he would disappear into the small room behind the dugout, spit the licorice out and brush his teeth. Dental hygienist, flake, or left-hander in a right-handed body? You make the call.
