A Trip to Happy Felsch's House

Bryan,

Awesome story and photos! Things like this make us (me, at least) feel closer to history.

I am lucky enough to live about 5 minutes away from Babe Ruth's 'country get-away' in Sudbury, MA. Every time I pass the house I wonder what might have transpired there all those years ago!

That's fun. Being in LA I see tons of celebrity houses but I still get a kick out of passing Bing Crosby's house on my way to work each day.

Great post. Thanks for sharing.

A bit off-topic. For several years back in the 50s, and during the production of the Honeymooners, Audrey Meadows lived in a house in Arlington, Va a few blocks from the house where I now live. Her husband at the time, real estate developer Randy Rouse, continues to live in the house to this day. For those with an interest, you can learn more by a Google search of 'Febrey-Lothrop house.'

Nice work, Bryan! Thanks for the great writeup!

Cheers,

Glad y'all think that this is as cool as I do. When I run I pass Warren Spahn's old house, it has a huge wrought iron Old English S on the chimney and I heard that it had/has spindles on the railing uptairs that are made out of baseball bats. I am still waiting to see the owners in the yard to ask.

This makes me wonder: has anyone ever put together a guide to the former houses of baseball stars?

Andrew, About 10 years ago, there was a story going on about when Ruth lived there. He got mad about a piano in the house. In the middle of winter he pushed the piano out onto the ice of a small pond near the house. He left it there. it sank in the spring. Someone with too much money these days. Searched the pond. But never found anything.
