Tom Alston . . . sad
Working for SCD all those years I had many conversations with contemporary and former ballplayers.
The most memorable was two hours spent with the Cardinals' first black player, Tom Alston. It was in his room at the Holiday Inn in Bridgeton (sp?) where the old St. Louis shows were held. Must have been late '80s. He was, quite literally, mad. I never wrote up the interview, but I have my notes somewhere . . . maybe some day.
