Really loved the Weinbaum vignettes on Andscape.com. Hearing from Finley, Veeck, their sons, former players, family members was so interesting. That rocking chair and the nurse! I especially enjoyed watching Paige pitch in the YouTube collage. He did have his own style. I also found it so sweet that his 17 year old daughter was typing letters to different ball clubs soliciting a job for her dad. It netted him a September job of $4K in 1965. Not a bad stint; that would be about a little over $40K in today’s dollars. Well, I’ve gone on long enough. Another great post, Paul!
