Walt Linden, former Braves player, passes away

[Cowtipper]

Actually, he died in 2013.

Linden passed away in September of 2013 at the age of 89, according to a very brief obituary in the Chicago Tribune. The obituary listed neither a place or date of death, or any burial information, making it difficult for researchers to track down the exact circumstances of his passing. One possible clue was that his last place of residence was listed as Western Springs, IL. SABR researchers were able to find the missing information within a few months, however.
