Enos Slaughter, RIP

[Donn]

As if St. Louis Cardinals fans haven't had enough sadness this year, Enos Slaughter, the original "Charlie Hustle," had passed.

Slaughter was a constant all-star, who's most famous moment was the "Mad Dash" when he scored from first in the bottom of the ninth of game 7 of the 1946 World Series, beating the Red Sox in the series.

I still have my Enos Slaughter baseball glove. My Dad got it for me from Sears.
