Sad that another of yesterday's ballplayers, one of the Boys of Summer, has passed. By all accounts he was a good man. RIP Newk

He was scheduled for a big west coast card show this wkend at the Fairplex in Pomoma. Sure to be a lot of sad fans. He signed his '56T card for me over 40 years ago at an old timers event at Jack Murphy. He was a huge man, but such a nice man.

Don Newcombe - Japan
I can't look it up right now, but if I recall correctly, Newcombe finished his career in Japan in 1961 (?) as a 1st baseman. Are there any cards of him from that year? That's a cool item if it exists.

I was almost named Don Newcomb(e)
When I was born I was almost named after my mom's father, whose name was Don Timberman (not Donald, just Don). But this was southwestern Ohio in 1959 and Newk was pitching for the Reds - my family got cold feet and went with John Timberman Newcomb instead. Different times (at least in my family)...
Nevertheless I have always thought of Don Newcombe as a beloved ancestor of sorts - sorry to hear the news of his passing. Tim
