1961 Yankee Hale dead
Bob Hale, a member of the 1961 Yankees for the stretch drive, died on September 8 in suburban Chicago at age 78.
Hale played in the American League from 1955-61. He spent the earlier portion of '61 (and all of 1960) with the Indians, and the first five years of his career with the Orioles.

Re: 1961 Yankee Hale dead
We are losing more and more players from that 1961 every year. I went to a game and saw them play in Kansas City and watched them play many games on televsion during the regular season and in the World Series when I was in Jr. High School. That's been over 50 years now and it doesn't seem that long ago.
