Eddie Smith
Today I went to visit the grave site of MLB pitcher Edgar "Eddie" Smith, who was a two-time All-Star (1941-42) and also served during WWII. He's the closest MLB player buried to where I live, so I read up on him and then finally made the arduous five minute trek to the cemetery. I noticed the other day that he didn't have any cards during his playing days (unless I'm missing something), despite playing ten years in the majors.
Anyone else visit an MLB grave recently or have anything neat to share for Eddie Smith? As a side note, I also visited Johnny V's father for the first time, who was also a veteran and buried about 1,000 feet away from Mr Smith. I apologized for starting his son's card collecting habit.
