OT.... Grave Site of Lefty Grove (and Other Major League Ball Players)

[leftygrove10]

I took my boys to see the grave of Lefty Grove today. Lefty is buried in Frostburg, MD. I have attached a few pictures below. Lefty was my cousin and is theirs as well. Lefty and I were both born in the same small town of Lonaconing, MD.

Lefty's is the only grave of a baseball player that I have seen. If you have been to the grave of some other ball players and have pictures, please share them.

Brad,

You and the other members might like the following site called the Deadball Era. I am not trying to be macabre, but it deals with deceased major league players and has a baseball card section:

Another example of great minds thinking alike!

Interesting site. Going through trying to see who's near me in Texas and see that they have Mickey Mantle in Dallas, Rogers Hornsby in Austin, Tris Speaker in Hubbard, and Charles "Charlie" Neal right here in Longview. Definitely will have to visit that site soon.

Hiya Brad-
So those are your boys, eh. Good looking young fellows.
After the recent Baltimore National I visited Gettysburg and was treated to a terrific battlefield tour by Jay Wolt. The next day I shot up to Lewisburg specifically to visit Christy Mathewson's grave. I even considered heading to NE Penna to see Joe Wood's resting place as well but had an early flight the next day and couldn't bring it off.
Thanks for breakfast in Baltimore, amigo. It was good to see you again.

Those are neat pictures of Matty's grave. Thanks for sharing.

Yes... Those are my boys. Wesley is wearing the blue sweatshirt and Austin is wearing the green sweatshirt. Wesley is a very good pitcher himself!

After I took the pictures of the boys, my daughter Erin also wanted her picture taken. See below.

Brad,

Great thread and a great looking family!

Do you have any closeups of the Lefty plaque?

Thanks! And Yes, I have close-ups of the plaque. I took these pictures a few years ago....

Not my pics, but off of www.findagrave as previously mentioned (of which I am a contributor) of Zach Wheat in Forest Hill Cemetery, Kansas City, MO. Grandfathers going back 4 generations were brothers; his half of the family went to southern IL and my half went to northern IL.
