Once a Brave..

[tornado]

Did anyone note the passing of one member of the 1960-1961 and 1961-1962 Braves that were so highly rated and won so many games ( mostly due the likes of Chet Walker, etc..)

But Ted Munns was on the team and once a Brave....

Also note the passing of one of the truly great BU fans who was at every game for 30 years...
the obit has his pic, and I'll bet most will recognize him even if you didn't know him...

BTW -- another obit in New York is a key player who faced Bradley in the Championship game of the NCAA and NIT in 1950...
Irwin Dambrot had a game high 23 pts in the NIT Championship game, and 15 in the "Squeaky got fouled" title game of the NCAA.
Sadly this ended with the scandal.....read about it here.....
