My long-gone father was a tremendous basketball player who always spoke so highly of Dick Groat. They faced off against each other stateside in Army/Navy games during the Korean 'conflict,' and said what a ridiculously talented man on the court he was, but also what a tremendous person he was.
Rest in peace.

Overpaying yesterday is simply underpaying tomorrow.

When folks think of the 1960 Pirates, Maz's heroics in the 1960 WS is probably the first thing that comes to mind. However, Dick Groat was the 1960 NL MVP, and he won the 1960 NL batting title with a .325 average. The Pirates wouldn't have made it into the 1960 WS without Groat. RIP, Mr. Groat.
