Former Great Forgets Game and Leaves Ballparks
United Press reports Terry Turner, once a star shortstop and third baseman for Cleveland from 1904 to 1919, rarely attends games now, saying he has lost interest. He recalls past summers watching Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig, but admits he might attend if it warms up, noting the Indians opener was his last game three years ago and he froze that day. Turner, nicknamed Cottontop, now works as a Cleveland city employee and prefers tending his garden.
