Elden Auker died last week -- he was a MLB submarine pitcher who spent a season in Boston as a teammate of Ted Williams but spent six years with the Tigers and 3 with the St. Louis Browns.
This was ironic (for me, not so much for him) as I had been watching my videotapes of When it Was a Game beginning the previous week while riding the stationary bike. Auker provides some commentary throughout, and I had looked him up on Wikipedia to see if he was still alive -- which, at the time, he was. He passed away the day after I finished watching Part 2.
I see he wrote a book 5 years ago -- that's probably a good read if I can find it.
