I remember him; had his baseball card as a kid back in 60s.
RIP.

It seemed like Bob Friend and Bobby Knoop were in every pack of baseball cards.

Watched him back in the 1950s when my Dad would take us to Forbes Field. In the mid 1950s, the Pirates were very inconsistent and when 1960 came around, there was a huge backing of the Bucs... Still remember hearing Bob Prince doing the games on KDKA and talking about Elroy Face, Vernon Hill, Bill Mazerwoski, Smokey Burgess, Dick Stuart, Roberto Clemente, Bob Skinner, Virgil Hill, Don Houk and Dick Schofield. Loved sitting in the bleachers, very different from today. Forbes Field with the ivy reminded me of the Chicago Cubs ball-field.

God speed!
