On June 10, this blog featured a necrology of the players (and managers and coaches) who had appeared in the iconic 1952 Topps set.
On that date, there were 50 surviving players. Now there are 49.
Long-time Chicago White Sox left-handed ace Billy Pierce died Friday, July 31, at the age of 88.
Here's the current roster of surviving subjects from 1952 Topps.
