Remember When By CHARLIE BRAY
Remember When focuses on Frank Biggs known as Lefty Biggs, a 1910s pitcher out of Sacramento and Oakland who played for the McKinley Park Burls and later joined Navy service in 1917. The piece traces his early semi pro days, teammates, wartime service, club play across Oakland and Napa, and his post baseball life with the Johnson Clothiers. It notes contemporaries like Joe Newkirk, Dutch Holstrom, and mentions connections to Giants and Cardinals affiliates, plus family details including wife Erma and son George.
