Long before Jeter, a Rookie of the Year SS played 10 years for the Yankees and went to the World Series in eight of them. He died today.

R.I.P. Gil McDougald

Just one final epitaph:

In 1957, his line drive hit Herb Score in the head and knocked him unconscious. For a while, it was not clear that Score would ever see again. McDougald, still in his prime, vowed to retire from baseball if Score was blinded.

    Gil was worth more than 40 bWAR in ten years. He was a very productive infielder!
