Longtime Red Sox pitcher Wagner passes away at 93
2006-08-31 11:44
by Bob Timmermann

Charlie Wagner who pitched for the Red Sox from 1938 to 1946 (missing a few years because of World War II) passed away in Reading, Pennsylvania at age 93.

The last paragraph struck me:

Wagner was at a minor league game in Reading, Pennsylvania Wednesday night. As per his custom, he went to his car in the 7th inning. It was there he passed away from natural causes.

But Reading was playing a doubleheader yesterday? Did he leave after the first game or the second? Minor league doublheaders are seven innings for each game. Reading split the doublheader against New Britain and won the second game in nine innings, 3-2.

And LA fans get a bad rap for leaving early.

Aren't minor league doubleheader games only 7 innings long, anyway?

Well, I did say that in the post.
