Re: JIM PAINTER |
Please add me to the "we are very proud of
him" statement. MaVaHi may have had better
third basemen over the years - but, I never
seen them play. Jimmy Painter was unique
in the smooth way he played third - it would
be very hard - or virtually impossible - to
play the position as "Percy" did. Congratu-
lations Jimmy - it is a deserving award for
an all around great guy and ballplayer. |

Re: JIM PAINTER |
One more indorsement of Jimmy Painter. In
1956 while serving with the Air Force in
Japan - I had the pleasure of seeing Painter
play baseball - and also managed to say
hello and shake his hand. Jimmy was playing
shortstop that day (eat your heart out
Junior) and showed he could adapt quite well
to a position change. |
