At MLB.com, columnist Tracy Ringolsby wrote a tribute to the late Rocky Bridges, who died in Coeur d'Alene a week ago: "Rocky Bridges had a big chaw in his right jaw, a smirk on his face, and a one-liner ready to deliver on his lips. He was old-school baseball, in a fun way.He enjoyed the game and wasn't afraid of anybody who talked to him or watched him knowing it. Everett Lamar Bridges' death early Wednesday morning from natural causes in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, at the age of 87 did not grab headlines across the country. However, it creates a void for baseball in its connection to the past." More here. (Topps Baseball Card: Rocky Bridges playing days photo)
