Reuben N. Oldring, outfielder of the Philadelphia American League team, was born in New York City, May 20, 1884. In his early career he played semi-professional ball with the All-Nationals of New York. He became a professional in 1905, when he joined the Montgomery team of the Southern League. He was secured by the Athletics in 1906.
Wilmer, brother of the Athletics' pitcher Bobby, appeared in 51 games for the Philadelphia team in 1954, hitting .256. He had 42 hits for 60 total bases. These included 9 doubles, 3 triples and 1 homer, and he batted in 17 runs, scoring 13. Billy and Bobby look a great deal alike. He didn't have much opportunity to catch his brother in 1954, since Bobby's sore arm prevented him from working for the A's. With Ottawa in 1953 Billy was in 105 games, hitting .227.
This 19-year-old catcher made up his mind to play in the majors after serving as bat boy for the Los Angeles Dodgers from 1959 through 1963. In his first season in the minors in 1964, Rene led the Midwest League in home runs and played in the circuit's All-Star game. The youth from L. A. was a star high school athlete as he played baseball, basketball and football.
