That's amazing, Fred.
It's amazing to think how much Henrich saw in his day. Basically bridged the gaps between Gehrig, DiMaggio and Mantle. Not a bad bunch of guys to be playing with.
But seriously, there was always something about him that really interested me. It might have been all of those great moments that he had been a part of (the '49 WS homer, the '41 Mickey Owens gaffe), or it might have just been because of hearing him in interviews. He always seemed so affable and his eyes just lit up when he would talk about the old days.
I was VERY sad when he passed.
