I remember the name, but that's about all.
Minnie was am early hero of this Yankee fan. He held the record at one point of getting hit by more pitches than anyone else. Robert Klein did a funny routine on Minnie's technique: his head was IN the strike zone.
RIP

Again, Jeff stole my comment. Considering all the bean balls he took I'm surprised Minnie lasted this long.
