Where Have All the Captains Gone

This is to follow up on Bear’s excellent piece on Pee Wee Reese. That is, Captain Pee Wee Reese. It is written in the present tense as I wrote it back when there were still three MLB team captains on July 12, 2013. So, I am again digging through the archives. I thought it might be appropriate as a number of the official or unofficial duties of the now defunct role of captain are still carried out by team members who fall into a captain like role because of their personalities, work ethic, passion for the game, team first attitudes.
