This ballplayer had his uniforms tailored to showcase his powerful arms. Name him. Tags:baseballwhoishe Added: 27th August 2009 Views: 456 Rating: Posted By:Lava1964
Sbpetal nailed it. It is Ted Kluszewski, the slugging first baseman of the Cincinnati Reds. Kluszewski isn't a Hall of Fame member, but a statue of him stands outside the Reds' ballpark. Kluszewski died suddenly of a heart attack in 1988 at age 63.
Every once in a while I have to laugh at myself: my eyes were so sore last night that I would swear the uniform said ''Red Sox'' rather than Cincinnati.
Had I read further, I wouldn't have said Jimmy Foxx!
But it's like I always tell people: DON'T GET OLD!
