I think the guy with the brain tumor, Dick Wantz, beats out Larry Yount for saddest baseball story.

On a personal level, sure. But we're talking about baseball careers. Wantz got to throw a pitch.

It's all a matter of perspective, I suppose. If you were to ask Larry Yount, who is still very much with us, I'm guessing I'd know what his answer would be. But yes, we were talking baseball and not philosophy!

No doubt. I just think that's a different discussion. There's a lot of tragedy in baseball. I thought we were talking about short careers. Even Moonlight Graham played an inning. Yount did not. He merely stood on the mound between innings.

Here is Moonlight. This, and two other Moonlight items, are in Memory Lane’s Summer Auction. His stuff is super scarce, as you would expect from a guy who played 1/2 inning.
