Moose Solters Seeks Return Of Vision After Baseball Career
Julius Moose Solters once powered the Chicago White Sox as an outfielder. Now totally blind, he relies on his wife Amy and five children for support. A 1941 line drive fractured his skull and began his gradual loss of sight. He aged 43, 235 pounds, six feet tall, and retired to Valencia Pennsylvania before later watching Pirates games with his guide son Joe. Ford Frick later sent a lifetime pass offer.
