Just learned today that
Bobby Gene Smith passed away on
November 24, 2015. Bobby signed with the Cardinals in 1953 and played through 1967, including parts of 7 seasons in the majors. And, of course, he was an original Met, though not for long (traded to the Cubs April 26, 1962). His last major league action came with the Angels in 1965.
Lots of good images of Bobby on the site, here (use the search feature) and many (some good, some not so much) in the Vault. I'm only including this Cubs image (a current eBay offering of
legendsandmoreinc) and the Cardinal image (from this
condolences page) because they're not already posted elsewhere on the site (so far as I can tell).
