Rabbit Maranville Still Active in Rochester Semi-Pro Play
Walter Rabbit Maranville, with 22 major league seasons, still suits up for the Seagram team in Rochester’s fast semi pro league serving as player and league president. He works ten hours daily at GM Rochester, says today’s big leaguers chase paydays, recalls an unassisted 9th inning double play in the 1914 World Series and a 1931 Tokyo all star game where a three‑run double helped rally a win. He also praises battles on the field and in spirit, and jokes about battlefield clutch.
