One of the show's subjects was Casey Stengel, and two of the surprise guests they brought in to reminisce were Irish Meusel and Zach Wheat. Zach was in his seventies by then but he looked very athletic and had huge hands. He spoke for a few moments about Casey's early career. Can anyone recall any other T206er who appeared and spoke on television?
Did anyone die when Zach Wheat spoke?
