Branca and Thomson lived nearly sixty years after their famous moment. A sad day for baseball.

Mr. Thomson lived for many years in the neighboring town of Watchung, New Jersey and I used to see and speak to him from time to time. He was a fine gentleman.

What a class act. I met Bobby a couple of times and he was always generous with an autograph or two through the mail over the years. RIP Bobby and my thoughts to his family on this sad day.

One of the nicest guys of his or any era, always a gentleman.
My condolences to his family.
