He is a successful business man today and still has the infectious smile. He has some great stories of him and sparky lyle (and other players). His son had a pretty good career in medicine. There is a pavillion at Johns Hopkins named after him (Wenz Ortopedic Pavillion). James (his son) would state that he learned a lot from his father. Glad to see his card is collectedAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09776009533421512211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-72805078553416215.post-90167093717140452382013-12-29T16:50:47.618-05:002013-12-29T16:50:47.618-05:00That is a great signature.

It is an odd pose, odd name, and a pretty unusual career, in that he never pitched in a game after 1970. And his early minor league career is even more strange, for he was horrible in low minors but some how stuck it out and was OK in AA and AAA. Still a 3-0 mlb career is cool (although most likely it was more luck than skill). <br /> Douglashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01050857323785108411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-72805078553416215.post-67365637550281137032012-09-12T08:18:28.958-04:002012-09-12T08:18:28.958-04:00No way I would have guessed this guy was 6'3&q...No way I would have guessed this guy was 6'3" and 214 lbs. from that picture.
