More Lesser Knowns

Albert "Butts" Wagner was the brother of Honus Wagner. Albert played one season in MLB. 
Here's a much better picture of the older brother: 



Ralph Garr Sr. played 13 major league seasons. His son, Ralph Jr. played just four seasons in the minors, topping out at Single A.

The name Larry Allen reminds me of the dominant Cowboys lineman from the 90s Super Bowl winning teams. Here's his minor league baseball name sake, who was in the White Sox organization and reached single-A:
