One For The Road: RIP Moose Skowron

Baseball legend Bill "Moose" Skowron died today. He was 81. The Chicagoan was a five-time World Series champion, winning four titles with the Yankees and a fifth with the Dodgers. He played for the White Sox 1964-1967, and after he retired, he came back to join the team's community relations department. The AP writes:

"We all have lost a dear, dear friend today," White Sox owner Jerry Reinsdorf said. "While Moose may have become a star in New York with the Yankees, he was a Chicagoan through and through. I certainly will miss his priceless stories about Casey Stengel, Roger Maris, Hank Bauer and of course, his good friend, Mickey Mantle. ... My guess is that right now Mickey, Roger, Hank and Moose are enjoying a good laugh together."

Below watch a video of Moose telling one of those stories.
