May his memory be for a blessing.

Dr. Beckett and I were on Hobby Hotline last Saturday and we did a tribute to Ted, while he was still with us. Our talking about Ted begins at about the 8:25 mark

I haven't seen Ted in a few years but I always looked forward to his visits at the National (and before that, at the Philly show). He was very encouraging to me when I was first starting Love of the Game, and always had a kind word and a smile. Condolences to his family and to his many, many friends.

Terrible and shocking news. I always enjoyed Ted's posts on the board, and this is a huge loss. RIP, Ted.

Ted Z was a very loved person, He will be greatly missed.
I was checking out some of his posts and came across his most recent one (below). Haha, Ted Z talking Casey Stengel, gotta love it!

I should have qualified it....Stengel hit the 1st HR in the World Series at Yankee Stadium batting for the Giants.

SABR quote......
"Stengel’s inside-the-park home run in the ninth inning won Game One for McGraw’s Giants. The moment was
immortalized by a Damon Runyon column which began “This is the way old Casey Stengel ran yesterday.” Two
days later, Casey hit another home run in Game Three, giving the Giants a 1-0 victory."

A sad day, I don't think we ever met in person, but he was a really good member of the hobby in general.

Ted really knew stuff, and a lot of it firsthand.

Damn

DAMN

damn.

This hurts. I've reached the magical stage in life when losing someone you know and cherish is, alas, not an unusual event. But losing Ted hurts big time.

I never met him (although I'm sure we brushed up against one another at some point). But his hobby expertise, his grasp of the history, and most of all, his kindness and generosity came through every time he posted - and every time someone else posted about him.

My closest hobby friend was the late Bobby Bostoff (may his memory be a blessing). I've continued to collect since his death, but I'd be lying if I denied that a lot of the fun went out of the hobby when he died.

The lesson - the cards are fun, but they're just cards. The people you meet along the way - they're truly what matters.

I had just emailed Dan last week to see if he had any news on Ted. Regret that I won't see him at the National again. RIP Ted.
