Dick Adams (1920 - 2016)

Dick Adams, who played first base (and a few games in the OF) for the 1947 Athletics, passed away September 14.

I know there's a solid image of Dick posted by tnfoto (courtesy thecatspajamas) earlier this year.

I found this Kyle's offering on eBay, which I think is a little sharper. Obviously, the player on the left is Hank Biasatti. Dick, if I'm not mistaken, is the player in the middle and Ferris Fain is on the right.

As a Rule V pick, Dick was with the Athletics for the entire season, but Fain, who was also a Rule V pick that year, got the 1B spot, relegating Dick to the minors in 1948. Dick ended his pro career after the '53 season, but never got back to the major leagues.
