OT: Joey Jay dead at 89. First Little Leaguer to reach MLB

[RUhasarrived]

He died a month ago in Florida but the world wasn't notified because he wasn't part of today's acceptable crowd.

He signed with the Braves in 1953 at age 17,but had to remain in the bigs for two years due to the then existing bonus rule.
He was traded to the Reds in 1961,winning 21 games that season and one in the Series,allowing only a two run shot to Yogi.

Look at Wikipedia's Deaths in any one particular year.
There you see people all over the world glorified for who knows what.

Still don't know what you are referring to. In fact more deaths are glorified with attention then ever been. Just look at this board. People race to post an obituary before anyone else and while the body is still warm!
