IMDB: William Frawley had a clause in his contract that excused him from filming (I Love Lucy) if his beloved New York Yankees were in the World Series, which they were each year the show was on the air except one (1954).

Let's not forget he was Uncle Bub on MY THREE SONS, from 1960 to 1964. Those were some fine Yankee years, though Koufax obviously killed him.
If not Koufax - then his singing did him in.
When Little Ricky was born, Fred gifted him a baseball glove signed (I think), by "Joe DiMaggio, the greatest of them all."
My Three Sons worked hard to employ and then kill off aging character actors.
Brother Mike just simply disappeared, later greeting Richie Cunningham's brother in limbo.
Certainly influenced by Jolson. I guess Bill didn’t whistle or he would have certainly done that on one verse. Al would have.
Even so, it’s pretty awful version of an awful song
I think you have a great "dump" book idea there, JM: TV characters who disappeared, and why. Plus speculative essays as to what happened to them, and why they can never be mentioned by those they left behind.
