Thanks Jeff, he was a good friend. He always enjoyed meeting knowledgeable baseball people like yourself and was amazed that you and others would drive long distances to join in on our little back yard get togethers.

Sounds like just a wonderful gentleman. Sure wish I would have got to meet him. Sorry for your loss Bill.....

and RIP sir.

I met Hawk at Bill's house a couple of years ago. He was with the 57 Braves and won a World Series that year. A few years later he won the Junior World Series with the Louisville team. He let me wear both rings. Super nice man, and a friend to all the Murray collectors.
RIP Hawk.

Thanks guys for all your kind comments. Hawk's Memorial Service was today. A large crowd in attendance, it was a great send off. At the end of the service...you guessed it--TAKE ME OUT TO THE BALL GAME sung by all.
