Posted By: <b>barrysloate</b><p>Today I was packing my orders from last night's ebay sales, and one of the cards was a 1963 Bombers Best, which features Mickey Mantle, Bobby Richardson, and Tom Tresh. I noted to myself how good all three players were.<br /><br />A few moments ago I heard the news that Tom Tresh died. Now that's strange. <br /><br />A great Yankee, and sad news.

Posted By: <b>JimCrandell</b><p>When I was a kid one of my buddies favorite players was Tom Tresh and we would have never ending debates on who was better--Tom Tresh or Vic Davalillo. After not seeing him for 40 years I heard from him and I said I guess we know who turned out to have the better career--he said wait a minute and the debate resumed after 40 years.<br /><br />

Posted By: <b>Jodi Birkholm</b><p>It's funny how we will never have any idea who is to pass on next. Tresh, a respected baseball coach and all-around nice guy leaves us suddenly, while Davalillo, by all accounts a temperamental/raging alcoholic womainizer to this day still thrives in a second world country. Some things we just weren't meant to understand.
