The season ends. Many goodbyes are needed this winter.
So long, Lou Brissie.
Goodbye, Johnny Kucks.
Adios, Ed Erautt.
All three men were kind to answer questions for me. They treated my letters with thoughtful respect. I think they remained baseball fans, too. Here’s the time they can all tip their caps on the top step of heaven’s dugout.
Wow, I had no idea Mr. Erautt had passed as well. I loved Brissie’s book, he made me proud to be from SC!
I received a wonderful reply from Brissie about six months ago. His book is highly recommended.
