Bill Lange was destined to be a HOFer. His stats were consistent and impressive. Rhys was correct about his dealings after baseball. He lived in California and his nephew was George Lange Kelly. Kelly's middle name obviously was a tribute to Bill. He lived a fairly long life and signed quite a few documents. I have some real estate papers signed by both Bill Lange and George Kelly, as Bill sold some of his property to George in the 1930's. He apparently scouted as well, and his signature has appeared in vintage autograph albums along with current players of that time.I do not have aphoto of him, but I have seen a photo of him in the later years of his life, but nothing from his playing days. |
