I'll try to find out what county Tommy Byrne is in.
For those who don't remember Tommy Byrne, he was a fine pitcher and hitter for the Yankees, Browns, Senators, and White Sox. He told me he was the first player ever traded from the Yankees and then back to the Yankees.
According to a web site, he once hit a ninth-inning pinch-hit grand slam for the White Sox to beat his former team, the Yankees. Another time he pitched a 13-inning game in which he walked 16 batters. Incredibly, he won the game 3-1. Can anyone imagine that happening now?
