Last of His Kind
Don Gutteridge passed away Sunday. He was a last connection to one of the few bright spots in St. Louis Browns history:
He was listed as the seventh-oldest living former player and was the last living St. Louis Brown who played in the 1944 World Series. During that series, he turned five double plays in one game at second base.
Unfortunately, the Browns lost to the Cardinals in their only World Series appearance.
My thoughts go out to his family and friends.
