OF, b. 1922. Thompson served from 1823 to 1843, and is considered a transitional figure between the Marshall and Taney eras. In Ogden v. Saunders (1827), he joined the 4-3 majority that led to Marshall’s only constitutional dissent. Thompson played an important role in jurisprudence involving the Commerce Clause. Mapes was a bridge between the past and the future, too. On the Yankees he wore #3 after Babe Ruth. When that was retired, he later wore #7 before Mickey Mantle asked for it. Perhaps that makes Mapes the only player ever to have "his" number retired twice by the same team! 2B SS, b. 1950. Believe it or not, this ballplayer’s nickname was “Rocky.” 2B, b. 1971. This switch-hitter is a well-rounded player for the Chisox. Writer, 1898-1967. With Hy Turkin in 1951, co-wrote the first Official Encyclopedia of Baseball.
