I was going through my PC collection tonight and found this and nearly spit out my manhattan. I guess I had never taken a good look at it. This has got to be the only sports collectible in the world that calls out gout :D

The Waitkus shooting was the inspiration for the scene in the Natural in which the exact same happens to Roy Hobbs.

It is also mentioned on the back of his 52 Topps card.

A crazed/deranged woman is a good description. Eddie sounded like a good guy. I would be afraid knowing she was released 3 yrs later, but it sounds like she got the help she desperately needed.
