This week, Jim Traber! Traber was a talented singer who sang the National Anthem before his MLB debut at Memorial Stadium! He also was the starting QB for Oklahoma State University and had a .389 average as a Cowboy. He was a local kid and played great in the minors but was blocked by Eddie Murray at 1B for the Baltimore Orioles, until a Murray injury in 1986 gave Jim a shot. He hit .342 with 10 homers and 32 RBIs in his first 32 games. He fell back to earth and in 1990 went to NPB where he played well for 2 years for Osaka Kintetsu Buffaloes. In retirement, Jim has been a sports radio host in Oklahoma.
