The first major league baseball game I ever attended was on August 10, 1963 at old Comiskey Park. Hoyt Wilhelm finished the game for the White Sox. (The Sox beat the Yankees, 2-1.)

It's already a sad year for baseball, losing first Ted Williams and now Hoyt Wilhelm. And the worst may be just ahead.

You forgot Enos Slaughter. And without wishing any ill on anyone, I wonder - from what I saw of him at the All-Star Game ceremonies - how much life Warren Spahn has left in him.
