OT - Minnie Minoso dies

[Heyman25]

Minnie Minoso, who shamefully has not made it to the Baseball Hall of Fame, died yesterday. He was one fine ball player and from all accounts, one hell of a guy. May he rest in peace in the Hall of Fame up in heaven. OFC



Great baseball player

Remember him well from 50's and 60's I believe Nellie Fox was second baseman.. Remember his getting a hit when he was 53 years old. Hard to understand why he is on in HOF.

I remember him. I think he may be the oldest player to play major league baseball. A man who truly played for the love of the game. OFC

Watch those idiot voters will vote him in now that he's gone and can't enjoy it,

^Ditto. One of my favorites when I really followed baseball. I believe I still have a Baseball Card of him. Always remember him by his hustle and love of the game!
RIP
