Yankee great and 5 time AS Tommy Henrich died on December 1.
Interesting note. In 1970, the BBWAA voters gave Henrich 20.7%. He was a good player, but even 20% seems excessive for a player of his stats. Imagine a player similar to him now getting 20%. Wouldn't happen! Especially considering here is what BB Reference compares him to...
J.D. Drew (926)
Bobby Higginson (913)
Jeff Heath (910)
Geoff Jenkins (903)
Brian Jordan (901)
Jackie Jensen (901)
Sid Gordon (901)
Aubrey Huff (900)
Carl Everett (900)
Vernon Wells (899)
