Gorby
I got know Gorby near the end of his life and helped one of his close friends get Gorby some card show signings, an invitation to the celebration of Feller’s opting day no hitter, and an interview in the local Trenton paper. He had great stories.
Among other things I remember besides being the losing pitcher in the opening day no hitter, he gave up DiMaggio's first hit of his streak, and was the winning pitcher in the 1941 all star game that Williams won with a home run. There were other historical moments he was involved in, but I can’t remember them now.
Thanks for reminders.
I had some Gorby autographs, but sent them to a Net 54 collector awhile ago. If I find anything else, I will let you know.
