I recently received some mail correspondence from Frank Saucier, who played for the St. Louis Browns in 1951. Most fans know of Saucier as the player who was pinch hit for by midget Eddie Gaedel. Saucier sent some articles about his career that illustrated the success he had in his short time in baseball, as well as his military service, both of which inspired the article. Enjoy.

Are you sure, philliesfiend? I don't see this pair on any father-son list (not to say that it couldn't be an oversight).
