From Scottsdale, Arizona, Charlie Milhem, a lifetime subscriber of WBWF, informs
us that GEORGE KELL & MARK FIDRYCH were not the only former Tigers to pass
on in 2009. Here’s seven more.
PURNAL GOLDY, OF in 1962 died on 9-21 at age 71
BRIAN POWELL, P in 1998 & 2002 died on 10-5 at age 35
FRANK WILLIAMS, P in 1989 passed on 1-9 at age 50
DAVE ROBERTS, P in 1976 died on 1-9 at age of 64
JACK PHILLIPS, for Tigers in 1955-57 died on 8-30 at age of 87
HE WAS THE ONLY PH TO EVER HIT A WALK-OFF GRAND SLAM TATER!
HAL WOODECHICK, P in 1956 & 1961 died on 6-14 at the age of 76
TOM STURDIVANT, P died on 2-28 at the age of 78
MAY THEY REST IN PEACE.
PREDICTIONS FOR 2010………….
Largely because MLB DOES NOT PLAY ON AN EVEN DIAMOND……….
THE FOLLOWING TEAMS WILL BE IN THE AL PLAYOFFS:
YANKEES
RED SOX
ANGELS and
WHITE SOX with the YANKEES WINNING THE AL PENNANT.
THE FOLLOWING TEAMS WILL BE IN THE NL PLAYOFFS:
PHILLIES
DODGERS
METS
CARDINALS with the PHILLIES WINNING THE NL PENNANT.
IN A FOUR GAME SWEEP THE YANKEES WILL WIN THE WORLD SERIES.
We say if you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em and bet the farm on the YANKEES.
Not just this year, but for many years to come. They can just buy any free agent
that they want to with their billions of dollars!!
THIS WILL CONTINUE UNTIL MLB EVENS THE PLAYING FIELD WITH A SALARY CAP!
