Charlie Hollocher was a great baseball player who's career was pretty much derailed by crippling depression.
Numerous times during his career he disappeared from the team without warning, outright quit the team, or left to be treated for "stomach ailments."
He walked away from the game at age 28. He killed himself at age 44.
It's nice to see him in what I would assume was a period of happiness. The smile seems genuine enough, anyway.
