"I was a pitcher in the American League (Hubbell and Gibson were in the National League) I pitched against Bobby Doerr. When I was a youngster growing up there was no Little League BB - we played American Legion Ball. Yes, I remember my first glove - it was a 1st baseman's mitt - I played first base starting out. My father died when I was eight years old. Barry Bonds was in the National League. I'm enclosing some of the highlights of my career."
Correspondence received in January 2004
Hudson passed away on October 10, 2008 at the age of 93.
What were the highlights he included?
ReplyDeleteIf I recall correctly, it was a photo copy of his highlights, kinda like a printout from a Wikipedia page.
DeleteDo you remember what you asked him when he responded "Barry Bonds was in the National League"?
ReplyDeleteNot a clue.
DeleteAnother guy that had a nice long life.
