Dick Greco (baseball)

Richard Anthony Greco (July 2, 1925 – July 5, 2012) was a minor league baseball player who hit over 300 home runs in a 12-year career that spanned from 1946 to 1957. He slugged at least 20 home runs a year from 1946 to 1952 - a stretch of seven campaigns - and had at least 30 home runs in a season five times. He hit .300 or better in 10 of the 12 years he played. He is considered, "the most prolific home run hitter from Tacoma" and was considered "the Babe Ruth of the bush leagues." Though he spent parts of four seasons at Triple-A, he never played in the major leagues.
