Doerr played against Lou Gehrig. And made his debut 80 years ago. Quite a remarkable career and life!
God bless this wonderful man....

RIP Bobby Doerr. I was bidding on his rookie card last night. Really sad to hear about his passing, one of the greatest Sox of all-time; the 1940s Doerr, Williams, Pesky + DiMaggio combo is legendary. I was watching this video the other day https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GlwxU0TJ98Y , it is fantastic to see 80 years of Red Sox all together at Fenway.
My prayers go out to his family and friends, Owen

Doerr and Williams were signed from the same scouting trip. He was the last living MLB player from the 1930s. RIP.

A Race Well Run
I had the opportunity to meet him and used to "correspond" with him regularly during my heavy ttm days, what a Prince of a guy.

I am not a Red Sox fan but the video you shared was fantastic. I loved how all the players entered the field. I only wish there was a way to identify all of them. Seeing how many of the players have aged was very sad to watch. Highlight was seing Yastrzemski & Doerr. What was up with all of the players filming themselves with their phones? Thanks for sharing!

Nooo! What a class act right up til the end. Tommy Henrich once said "Bobby was one of the few who played the game as hard as he did and retired with no enemies."
I could be wrong, but is he the last of the prewar HOFers?

Such a willing and gracious signer.
Funny story. I had always wanted a signed example of one of those Cooperstown group photos of all of the inductees by the lake in the back of the hotel. Finally was able to pick one up about a year and a half ago. After a few months I was bored and decided to see if everyone in the photo had signed it. I counted 36 people in the photo and 35 signatures. Dammit! Well, I figured I would see who was missing and maybe try at some point to get it signed if the player was still alive. I looked and looked and finally figured it out. It was Bobby Doerr. The man who signed everything and anything. He missed out on this one. By the time I figured it out I had heard that he was in a nursing home, so I wasn't about to try to bother him to sign it. The one guy who didn't sign the damn thing turned out to be the most prolific of them all (maybe even moreso than Feller)!! RIP Mr. Doerr. Class act indeed.
