Their story

James Dalton Command was an American professional baseball player and scout. He had two separate trials with the 1954–55 Philadelphia Phillies of Major League Baseball (MLB), starting four games as a third baseman in July 1954, while also serving as a pinch hitter and pinch runner, playing in a total of 14 big league games. However, Command was a versatile performer during a 14-season minor league career – playing all the infield positions, the outfield, and, late in his career, converting to catcher.
