Day 30
Jackie Jensen is certainly a guy who could have been so much more. He won the MVP, then was out of the league, just three years later. And it wasn’t for production. He led the league in RBIs in 1959, and finished 10th in the MVP voting, then retired. He tried to comeback in 1961, but then left again. If you didn’t know, he had a crippling fear of flying, and as the league started to expand, he just couldn’t handle the panic attacks anymore. I looked up other athletes that were afraid to fly, and was surprised the Wayne Gretzky was one of them. His roommate, Ace Bailey, was a huge part of calming him down and allowing him to become the best ever. In a horribly tragic coincidence, Bailey died on UAL 175, when it hit the South Tower on Sept 11. RIP, Ace...and everyone else from that horrific day.
