Jack Buck Wake:
I just heard that Jack Buck is going to lie in state at home plate at Busch Stadium today. How wonderful for the people of St. Louis to be able to pay their respects at the place Jack worked for so many years. The Yankees did that for Babe Ruth; I had hoped they would do the same for Mantle and DiMaggio, but it didn't happen. Even though it's a morbid thought, I would hope that players like Ted Williams, Willie Mays and Hank Aaron would think about having this done when they pass away. Fans adore these players and would love to have a chance to bid them farewell.
