This episode, like life, is short and sweet. John shares a story about the late Don Zimmer, the classy, kind and comedic figure, who served as bench coach under Joe Torre. But before that, we hear a letter from a fan who “left it all on the field” to fulfill a family member’s final request. These stores, plus Murderer’s Row outhitting the majors in 1927.
