McCovey and Doerr Named 1986 Hall of Fame Inductees

Willie McCovey and Bobby Doerr, joined by the late Ernie Lombardi, are set as the 1986 Hall of Fame inductees to be enshrined August 3 in Cooperstown. McCovey recalls his famed 1962 World Series line drive and his 521 other swings that yielded 1969 season highs. Doerr, a Boston second baseman, played 14 seasons and batted .288 with 223 homers, while Lombardi, nicknamed Schnozz, spent 17 seasons and hit .306 with 190 homers.

Oldtimers Forgotten In Baseballs Gold Rush

Hall of Fame second baseman Charlie Gehringer served as honorary AL captain at the All-Star Game in Houston. Despite decades in baseball, his pension is zero as he and his wife live on Social Security, highlighting how most pre 1947 players receive little support.
