Jerry Hummitszch - A two-sport athlete, Hummitszch played alongside Warlick on the 1961 national championship basketball team.  But basketball was not the sport he was known for - a standout pitcher at Pueblo Junior College, he was signed by the Milwaukee Braves in 1961.  He quickly rose through the Braves' system, even hurling a no-hitter in 1963 while playing for the Austin Senators, the Braves' AA affiliate.  He was considered the top pitcher in the organization when he tragically died in a car accident in May 1964 at age 23.
