Remembering Ray Chapman.
Posted By: Scot
On August 16, 1920 - 29 year old Ray Chapman was shortstop for the Cleveland Indians playing against the New York Yankees. In the fifth inning Chapman was facing Yankee pitcher Carl Mays. Mays threw one of his patented rising side arm pitches to the Indians shortstop crowding the plate. The pitch hit Ray in the temple Fracturing his skull. Ray Chapman died 4:30am the next day. He remains the only on field casualty in MLB history. 85 years ago this month. RIP Ray.
