Saw where he died. Would have been 92 in a few days. Was a good one and a competitor.

Another great one gone this year! RIP!
He wasn't an overpowering pitcher, but had great control and threw a lot of stuff.
Yeah didn't throw hard at all but nothing he threw was straight. Love watching pitchers like that work.Quote:
