  • Ephs in Major League Baseball
    Ephs in Major League Baseball The Nine Men Who Played for Williams College And in “The Big Show” Artie Clarke Ted Lewis Henry Clarke Jack Mills Paul Otis George Davis Alex Burr Mark Filley Charlie Perkins Rory Costello ’84 With a foreword by Fay Vincent ’60 Former Commissioner of Major League Baseball Foreword Williams College, the small liberal arts college in northwestern Massachusetts, has not produced a major league baseball player since the early 1930s, when two young pitchers – Charlie Perkins and Mark Filley – had the proverbial cup of coffee in The Show. That college did send George Steinbrenner and me forward to non-playing (and, some would argue, non-productive) roles in our great game – but until now there had been no effort to consider the set of early players who made it even if briefly. Rory Costello has produced this delightful monograph telling the stories of the nine former Williams players who made it to the majors, and in doing so he shows us some fascinating aspects of those long gone days. Not surprisingly, five of the nine players later became lawyers. Filley served as a family court judge in New York State, and Jack Mills – a star third baseman in college who later became a prominent Washington lawyer – is one of perhaps the only two former big-leaguers to have argued a case before the U.S. Supreme Court. The other was an Amherst alumnus whom Mills had opposed in 1909 and 1910 in college, Larry McClure. Interestingly, four of the nine played in a four-year period, three for the old New York Highlanders, the predecessor to the Yankees.
