Don Wheeler
Baseball
Wheeler, nicknamed "Scotty" due to his part-Scottish ancestry, graduated from South High School and signed with his hometown club, the Minneapolis Millers of the American Association, then an independently operated minor-league team, in 1941. After his first two professional seasons, in 1943 he joined the United States Army for World War II service; he saw combat in the European Theatre and was awarded the Bronze Star Medal.
Wheeler returned to baseball in 1946 as a member of the New York Giants' organization after the MLB club purchased the Millers franchise. The White Sox selected him in the 1948 Rule 5 draft, and in 1949 he was part of Chicago's three-man catching platoon, along with Joe Tipton and Eddie Malone. Wheeler led the trio with 54 starts behind the plate and 473 innings caught, just ahead of Tipton (49 starts, 441 innings) and Malone (48 starts, 4182⁄3 innings).
