This is sad news. He had some very good years in Washington,great by our standards. He was playing for the Nats before I was old enough to be a fan but I remember him as the manager. I have him competing on an early 60's TV game show called Homerun Derby. I'll have to find it. I wish I'd have known he had the store in Hyattsville. That's not far from where I live. Thanks for the story!

I am sorry to hear that. I remember the one year he managed. My Mom was a huge fan then and loved anybody who wore a Senators uniform. I didn't know about the three homers off Whitey Ford, that's cool! Sounds like he was a solid guy too.
