Why post an old obit?
It’s a problem you know, a quest for something I didn’t know before.
Had to go to the link to see if I was thinking of the wrong Boudreau - the one I remember from following baseball games on the radio as a teenager...finally got to baseball - yep, that’s the right guy...I believe I had a tract at one time in my bible with his testimony about his Christian faith. Nope - it’s still there but it’s Alvin Dark on “Why I tithe.”
Alvin Dark is one of my favorite baseball guys, not in HOF.
