Cal Abrams, Herman Wehmeier, Tommy Byrne, Johnny Logan

Four more from the auction: #98 Cal Abrams, #110 Herman Wehmeier, #123 Tommy Byrne, and #158 Johnny Logan.

Wehmeier is another tough one; he died at the age of 46 in 1973, two days before he was to take the stand in an embezzlement trial.  Byrne settled in Wake Forest, NC after his career was over and was elected to serve as its mayor for two terms.  He was the losing pitcher in Game 7 of the 1955 World Series.  Logan was a four-time All-Star and was the shortstop on the 1957 Milwaukee Braves.
