OT - Eddie Yost, the "Walking Man" Passes
One of my favorite Senators from my 1950's childhood has passed. Here's the link to Eddie Yost's interesting obituary in today's Washington Post. http://www.washingtonpost.com/sports...cf2_story.html

"A walks as good as a hit" .....Yost listened
Inspired the creation and appreciation of the On Base Percentage in the fifties. Truly a unique player of that era. Led the league in OBP with a batting average of .260 in 1960. He was even walking when he signed this autograph for me.
