January 11, 201610 yr http://culvercityobserver.com/story/2016/0...-Star/5393.html He played in 67 games during AL pennant winning 1959 season. Also played for Cubs 1961-1962. http://www.baseball-reference.com/register...id=mcanan001jam My thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends .
January 11, 201610 yr Thanks for sharing. He got decent playing time for the pennant winning team, and recall seeing him at the reunion in 2009. RIP
January 11, 201610 yr There is almost nobody left that played with the 1959 championship team. Jim Landis is in very poor health. Jim Rivera & Luis Aparicio are still around. So are a couple of backups - Sammy Esposito & John Romano. That's abut it.

January 12, 201610 yr McAnany came up in 1959 and sort of platooned with Jim Rivera in RF. I remember he hit over .400 in minors - probably 1958.
