Just to clear it up: It *is* the same Jerry Coleman. He'll be 81 in September and is soon to join the baseball hall of fame (as a broadcaster). He was with the Yankees as a player from 49 to 57 and was in the Marines as well. From an online bio... Lt. Colonel Coleman flew a total of 120 combat missions in World War II and the Korean War. He was awarded two Distinguished Flying Crosses, 13 Air Medals, and three Navy Citations.
