On This day…

February 22, 2008

In 2005, Jerry Coleman, the former Yankee star, military veteran, and broadcaster for the Yankees, Angels and Padres, was selected as recipient for the Baseball Hall of Fame’s Ford C. Frick Award.

Coleman, the MVP of the 1950 world Series, was a Marine Corps fighter pilot during World War II and the Korean War, along with Boston Hall of Famer Ted Williams.

Famous for his maloprops, Coleman’s autobiography An American Journey: My Life on the Field, in the Air, and on the Air, will be published this spring by Triumph Books.
