| Eddie Waitkus' good
friend and former teammate said,
"the man was a great baseball
player, a kind, thinking man. He served his country in the war and when he
got out of the service, he was finally getting to do what he wanted - to
play baseball, and to play for a good team."
"And what happens, he gets
shot,
how sad is that."
