pizza_Place: What??

Had a great nickname unlike Pee Wee Reese and Whitey Ford. But not as good as Three Finger Brown and of course, the Big Hurt.

Great on Sox post-game, as well as radio host. Always seemed like a great dude and gave you straight analysis or criticism of the team.

RIP Bill

C & J talked about him for a segment knowing him quite well from when the station had the White Sox. Sounds like an actual really good guy. Quite the ball buster. Would have been interesting what his career numbers would have been if he wasn't plagued by a chronically bad back throughout his career. Had a fling with Barbara Eden sounds like was a fond memory. Yesterday Kap & GW talkied about Ron Santo had a fling with Angie Dickinson when he first came up as a Cub.

Mac posted on Facebook that Bill should look up Barbara Eden now that he’s gone. Unfortunately for Melton, apparently Barbara is still with us! :lol:

He seemed older than 79. His look, even 15 years ago, was like a guy from the 60s

Maybe I misremember but wasn't there some flap a few years ago where some media person, maybe on comcast sports net, made some reference to him being old, then whoever it was disappeared, never to be heard from again?
