| Found at www.bglewandowski.com the comedian asked why the Grim Reaper got a seat behind home plate at the 2009 All-Star game. B.G.and photog Brian Gerard got me looking, laughing and THINKING. Bravo! |
Anyone who depends on Harvey Meiselman’s 2013 Baseball Address List appreciates his attention to detail. In his just-e-mailed September update, he has a ton of updated addresses.
In other news, he’s updating the list to reflect deceased names. So far, we’ve lost 65 names. Add in all the alums from the WWII-era All-American Girls Professional Baseball League, and the task becomes even more clear.
The window of opportunity is closing.
Don’t vow to send a ton of letters later. Send ONE tomorrow. Small daily or weekly goals usually outdistance a marathon mailing.
As I worked on this post, I saw on the great Baseball Player Passings Facebook group list that Larry Doby Johnson’s May death wasn’t made public by his family until now. Johnson played in only a handful of games from 1972-78.
It’s not just 1940s veterans. Former players of all ages are on the list.
Try the names on your want list now. How many extra innings will they have?
