Bill Henry: 1927(?)-2007
2007-09-03 09:07
by Bob Timmermann

Note:This story turned out to be wildly inaccurate. Bill Henry the ballplayer is still alive.

 

Bill Henry, a relief pitcher for 16 major league seasons, for the Red Sox, Cubs, Reds, Giants, Pirates, and Astros, died on August 27 in Lakeland, Florida at the age of 83, according to the Associated Press.

Henry pitched in the 1961 World Series for the Reds and made the NL All-Star team in 1960.

However, Henry's birthdate is listed in sources, such as Baseball-Reference.com, as October 15, 1927. This means that Henry either was 79 when he passed away or was born on October 15, 1923.

If the latter is true (and I'm thinking it is turns out it wasn't), Henry pitched his last season in the majors at age 45.
