And with a name like Omar, too.
funny story. My Godmothers husband had a brother named Turk
he was a Major League pitcher...played for Cubs and White Sox. ‘Turk’ Lown was his moniker.
looked him up recently...his real first name was Omar...Omar Lown. then I got it.
ps. Omar Bradley was known as Brad to his contemporaries.
pps. Virgil “The Turk” Sollozzo it is said that he got his nickname because he has a nose like a Turkish scimitar.
Wow! Omar “Turk” Lown! I remember having several Topps Turk Lown’s baseball cards in the 50s. The market for guys like Lown was flooded. But try finding a Musial or a Mays? Forget about it.
