I know I'm biased, but he's such an interesting character that I'm surprised nobody has written a book about him yet.

Thanks for the insight! All I had were collector stories, which we know can come from nowhere! It would be nice if someone wrote a book while some of his teammates are still with us.

I recently acquired a bunch of Chiefs game used bats from the batboy in 1956...I asked him about Stuart and he didn't have much to say other than he was quiet and hit a lot of home runs.
