February 7, 201412 yr Pittsburgh Pirates legend Ralph Kiner has died at the age of ninety one. Thoughts and prayers to his family and friends. --Captain Decker
February 7, 201412 yr Although Kiner never got the notoriety of someone like Stan Musial he was another fromer great who was known as a gentleman . Started his broadcast career with the White Sox ( so theoretically this could be in PHT). He then joined the Mets for their inaugural season and broadcast for over 50 years. He was dapper and kind hearted and dated such legendary actresses as Elizabeth Taylor and Janet Leigh. You would never know he was a HOF'er by his demeanor , he never flaunted it. He lived a full long life doing something he loved. Condolences to his family and friends of which there were many. This is a piece on him. http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/baseball...ticle-1.1605138
