Lest we forget: Clyde King

November 3, 2010

The former Dodger and Reds pitcher and Giants, Braves, and Yankees manager (62 games in 1982), died today at the age of 86.

He published his memoirs — A King’s Legacy: The Clyde King Story — in 1999.

This, strangely, is one of my favorite cards of King, taken back in the day when Topps would airbrush out all identifiers, just in case you were traded to a different team before they had a chance to take a fresh photo of you.
