If this Hall of Famer had accepted his scholarship, he might have played with Lew on one of the all time greatest sports teams.. He chose baseball however. His first major league roommate turned out to be a future Hall of Famer as well, who was on the tail end of his career. Name these roomies.
You've probably seen more of this major leaguer than any other, except maybe one.

Gibby is 73. I'm guessing Big Lew is about 61-62 so I'm figuring it's not Hoot .
Now I'll zone in on " seen the 2nd" most & go with Say Hey. How 'bout Chris Speier ? The amazing thing is the answer is a rook roomie with an HOF to be.
Good question.

I heard this guy talk on an ESPN radio show this weekend. He happened to mention the scholarship to UCLA and his first big league roomie. YOu really have seen more of this guy than most major leaguers I would assume..Some say too much

Atta boy, Rocky:waving:waving

I can only assume Steve Yeager in Playgirl might be the only other major leaguer one might have seen more of than Palmer in his underwear?
