The Story behind a World Series, a Tragedy and a Friendship

Walking on the beach in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, in 2015, Lynn and I met a guy wearing a Colorado Rockies hat. Because I never miss an opportunity to talk with someone about baseball, I started talking with Luke. He told me that his cousin, close like a brother, might have a great story to share. When Luke gave me Gregg’s email address, he cautioned me to be very delicate and sensitive when I contacted him. When I spoke with Gregg, he appreciated Luke’s admonition, but he was open to discussing the story and allow me to use it for the book.  You can find it on P. 6. in the chapter Generation to Generation: Family and Baseball.
