Default RIP Milt Pappas

I'll remember him for three things:

Being traded for Frank Robinson


Missing out on a Perfect Game when umpire Bruce Froemming called the last two pitches to Larry Stahl balls even though they were very close. Pappas continued to begrudge Froemming for many years afterwards for missing the calls and costing him his Perfecto...even showing video tape in which the ump appeared to be smirking after Stahl's walk.


His wife went missing and wasn't until five years later, when her body was found in her submerged car when a neighborhood lake was drained.



Rest in Peace indeed, Mr. Pappas
