Ted Z was a very loved person, He will be greatly missed.
I was checking out some of his posts and came across his most recent one (below). Haha, Ted Z talking Casey Stengel, gotta love it!

I should have qualified it....Stengel hit the 1st HR in the World Series at Yankee Stadium batting for the Giants.

SABR quote......
"Stengel’s inside-the-park home run in the ninth inning won Game One for McGraw’s Giants. The moment was
immortalized by a Damon Runyon column which began “This is the way old Casey Stengel ran yesterday.” Two
days later, Casey hit another home run in Game Three, giving the Giants a 1-0 victory."
