Wood vs. Wood #299

 Last time there was a 3-3 tie. Will we have a winner here?

Not only does Don Wert's Tigers logo look airbrushed, the whole cap looks artificially added. Not only had Wert been a career minor-leaguer to this point, he would spend all of 1962 in the minors as well. When he finally got called up to the big leagues in 1963 he quickly nailed down the Tigers' starting 3B job, and held it for the rest of the decade. Best known for his glove, Wert had an OK bat until getting beaned in 1968; he never hit close as well as he did before the beaning. Overall in nine seasons (eight with Detroit) he hit .242 with 77 HR and 365 RBI. After his playing career he mostly worked outside of sports in fields like farming and advertising, but was the head baseball coach at Franklin & Marshall College from 1976 to 1981. He died in 2024.

Joel Davis wears the SOX cap and jersey at spring training. Davis was a starting pitcher for the White Sox for parts of four seasons from 1985 to 1988. In 49 games he went 8-14 with a 4.91 ERA. Since 2002 he has been a high school health teacher in the Duval County school district in Florida. He had also been a baseball coach but lost that role in 2020 after a domestic violence arrest involving violent incidents with his wife. Court records showed that he had similar incidents with his first two wives.
