The player in question died of lung cancer at age 56 in a Detroit suburb on July 9, 1951, three days before the All-Star Game at Briggs Stadium in Detroit. The game began with a moment of silence in his honor. Ty Cobb, who visited his old teammate in the hospital, told his friend that he had earned election to the Baseball Hall of Fame, which gave him much joy. But it wasn’t true. He wasn’t elected until the following year, posthumously, on his 12th ballot.
