Pretty sure Sandy Koufax and Dave Winfield went straight to the bigs. There must be a bunch of players from the early years.

Lex, your guys all played in the minors. Doby has 27 AB’s with San Diego PCL at the end of his career. After pitching for the Indians and Browns Paige has a few years in the minors. Irvin played for the Giants starting in 1949 after some games with Jersey City. He was sent back to JC for a bit in ‘50. Yount spent his first year in baseball in the minors.
Bobbb correct on his guys, ditto BC.

"Little Poison" Lloyd Waner played for the San Francisco Seals in 1925 and 1926.
Fun fact: Lloyd's brother "Big Poison" Paul was actually an inch shorter than Lloyd.

Bill Haller was the ump. Tom Haller was a Giants catcher.
