HOF Trivia:
 
Who was the only Hall-of-Famer who died at sea?

Clemente?

Technically, Clemente was presumed to have died in the plane crash, though it supposedly did occur over water.

But that's not the answer I had- let's say - Which HOFer died on a vessel at sea?

IIRC, Earl Weaver was on a cruise when he passed away, correct?

Correct - He died after leaving Haiti, heading back to Florida - I only read about that yesterday.


While I was doing searches on BBBR.com, I found that one ML (albeit FL) had been born at sea (Ed Porray in the Atlantic (or is it ON the Atlantic) on 12/5/1888) and besides Weaver, two others had died at sea:

Arthur Irwin on the Atlantic on 7/16/1921

and

Nub Kleinke on the Pacific on 3/16/1950

- since neither of those occurred during wartime, they would probably be interesting stories.
