CdA MLB Player Bridges, 87, RIP
Rocky Bridges may have missed his calling. A journeyman Major League baseball player and former minor league manager, Bridges was the king of the one-liner. One time while having dinner at a fancy restaurant, Bridges was asked by a waiter if he’d like some escargot. “No, I’d prefer fast food,” Bridges quipped. Everett Lamar “Rocky” Bridges, 87, who lived in Coeur d’Alene, passed away early Tuesday from natural causes. Bridges’ professional career began in 1951 with the Brooklyn Dodgers and ended in 1961. He played for seven teams in 11 seasons/Greg Lee, SR. More here. (Photo: Rocky Bridges on Topps baseball card)
