BOB LOCKER

When you look at that baseball card of Cubs relief pitcher Bob Locker, try not to focus on the fact that the Cubs traded one of their rare home-grown position players (Billy North) to get him. Sure, North was the speedy leadoff hitter that ignited the lineup of the World Champion Oakland A's, and sure Bob Locker was already 35 years old when the Cubs got him, but look at that mustache.

It wouldn't surprise us if a jealous Rollie Fingers engineered that trade just to get his strongest mustache competition out of Oakland. That's how good Bob Locker's mustache was in 1973.

He turned 70 years old last weekend.
