We've lost a few more former major leaguers.
Bob Spicer, a knuckleballer who pitched for the A's in '55-'56, passed away February 27. He was 90.
Steve Kraly, who pitched in 5 games for the 1953 Yankees, passed away on Monday, March 7. He was 86. Of slightly more import to me than his brief Yankees career, Steve was the
official scorer for the Binghamton Mets.
The Spicer picture, showing him with the Los Angeles Angels of the PCL, accompanied
his obituary. It's about as good a picture of him as I've seen, aside from his Mother's Cookies card (which also pictured him with the Angels).
The Steve Kraly portrait was posted to the late, lamented Baseball-Birthdays. The posed pitching autographed picture is a brightened and cropped version of a current eBay offering from seller
livehorn. (A site search of OOTP turned up two photo posts for which the pictures were removed as happens with some older posts for assorted reasons.)
It's also been recently learned that former major league catcher Bob Schmidt passed away on May 2, 2015 (confirmed by his daughter).
