Family Tree
His son, Steve, who won 88 games in the big leagues, recalls his feelings on the death of his father, when Steve was just 12 years old:

"It hurt a lot. I was in the eighth grade and I looked up to him. He knew that I would be a ballplayer. He knew. Out of the seven boys in our family, he knew it would be me. My mother told me about one time at a picnic, when I was just a little kid, how dad got so excited when I was playing catch with him. He started yelling 'Pearl, come quick...come see the player!' "
