WHO IS Augie Galan?

August John Galan was born in May, so go figure. He played primarily for the Cubs and Dodgers, and appeared in three World Series and was named to three All-Star teams.
Augue broke his arm when he was 11 and never had it properly set. Still, he managed to play 16 seasons in the big leagues with a throwing arm that was never much use.
