[Hebrews 11:6]

I looked up Bobby yesterday on BaseballReference.com to get a feel for him, since he was well before my time. I was curious why he retired suddenly at 33, but your article blames a back injury. He was helped massively by playing his home games in righty-friendly Fenway, as one would expect. He was a fine player.

A great book to read is called “The Teammates” by David Halberstam. It chronicles the careers of Bobby Doerr, Ted Williams, Johnny Peaky and Dom DiMaggio who were teammates and life-long friends. I read it years ago and really learned a lot about each of the players and the great friendship they all shared. A good book if you are a baseball fan.

RIP Mr. Doerr.
