Stallard is remembered in baseball history as the pitcher who gave up the historical 61st home run to the Yankees Roger Maris on the final day of the 1961 season.
In 2014 this blog wished Tracy a 77th Happy Baseball Birthday!
A day, or so, after that post, I was contacted by someone in his family thanking me for the post, and that they'd let Mr. Stallard know we were thinking of him on his Birthday...that was a terrific gesture that I will always remember.
We send out our deepest of sympathies to the Stallard family on their loss.
May God Bless Mr. Stallard.
