I read Marilyn’s interesting “blast….” and it is quite a sad story about a 6’5″ 230lb catcher (they don’t come like that anymore) born in 1881, that bounced around MLB and MiLB for a number of years. He battled with the drink and it sounds like he got some help from the teams he was playing for in the form of monetary rewards for sobriety. In the end he wound up like some sad sack who got shot by a bartender. I wonder what happened to the barkeeper…. probably nothing and no investigation. It was like that back then. Quite a sad story indeed.

Marilyn…. thanks for the ’44 team photo. I am a sucker for these old pix… I just kind of stare at them. Love those uniforms and especially the caps…. STL in red on the blue cap….. red visor. No white anywhere.
Whoever heard of a walk-on equipment manager?
