A pair of cards added today, including a better Cimoli card than the one from yesterday. Cimoli had the distinction of being the first Dodger batter on the west coast, as well as scoring the final run in Ebbets Field. Pictured here as a Cardinal, he only stayed there a year, before joining Pittsburgh in time for their historic World Series. In Game Seven, Cimoli had been removed from the game, with the Pirates leading, so he was watching it in the clubhouse. I'm not sure why you would do that, in a World Series, with a great seat from the dugout. But anyway, that's where he was, when the Yankees tied it. He was so mad, he threw the TV against the wall, smashing it. Luckily Bill Mazeroski made sure that nobody would notice. He spent over twenty years as a UPS driver, after he retired. No such luck for Herm Wehmeier. After years of being booed by his hometown Cincy fans, he had a heart attack and died on the stand, at the ripe old age of 46, in an embezzlement trial for one of his employees. I hope everybody is getting their chores done around the house this week. Not much else to do. Have a great day!
