I had remembered Latman from back in the day but didn't know much about him until I posted his1960 Topps card. He was an interesting character. He actually had a correspondence going with Ty Cobb for awhile as a young player.
I hardly ever look at the sports news these days so your blog is where I hear about these old players passing on.
