The Dead-Ball Era lives!
Stew Thornley's hobby is visiting Baseball Hall of Famers' grave sites, and he'll pad his total to 222 when he adds Tony Gwynn and Duke Snider this year. (You can get the lowdown on them all, complete with pictures of grave sites and their GPS coordinates, atStewThornley.net.)
"I am kind of morbid," Thornley, 63, told the St. Paul Pioneer Press.
Or, as Joe Capozzi of the Palm Beach (Fla.) Post put it: "The Sultan of Cemeteries."
