Walt "No Neck" Williams

Born on today's date, Walt Williams.

"This guy ain't got no neck." - Paul Richards, GM for the Houston Colt 45's

What is going on here?

Why did guys look so ancient back then? These players were all in their 20's when these photos were taken.

I know that smoking was more prevalent back then but you could chain-smoke day and night and it should not accelerate the aging process this much.

And to top it all off, the manager looks like the rookie of the year.

What's the deal?
