If anyone is interested, there is a nice SABR story here about Yankowski's life, including his service time in WWII. |
I grew up in Waltham. I started writing players when I still lived there. It was pretty cool to write players who lived one or two towns away like him and Wilbur Wood. I remember getting his autograph in the mail back in the 1980's.
