Indians great Al Rosen dies at age 91 - Let's Go Tribe: Al Rosen, one of the greatest players in Cleveland Indians history, passed away Friday night at the age of 91. Rosen (#16 in LGT's countdown of the greatest players in franchise history) was born in South Carolina but grew up in the Little Havana section of Miami. Al suffered from severe asthma as a boy, but was encouraged by his mother to be active. A series of fistfights (stemming in part form him being one of very few Jewish boys in the neighborhood) helped him develop into a fine boxer, and of course he became a great ballplayer as well.

Yes R.I.P. Al. We loved him too as the GM of the Giants back when for a time...
Hey, if he could survive being "friends" with George Steinbrenner and a minority owner of the Yankees he deserves even more credit.
