The day after the World Series ended on October 13, 1960 via Mazeroski's homer, Dick Groat visited Tony Kubek in the hospital. For everyone's recall, Kubek was hit in the throat by a grounder in the bottom of the eighth.
Groat noted he had to introduce himself because Kubek didn't recognize him. Kubek had never seen Groat without a hat and his bald spot being exposed. RIP Groat and best of health to Kubek from one of the guys who goes out to the Forbes Field wall every October 13.
