It is nice to read that he was also a fine person. I think of him often and miss the way he played the game. What a shame he had to go to that arm pit of Gary,In.

I was with the Angels when Lyman was killed; covering another player for the smalltown newspaper I was working for at the time. I had just met him the day before he was killed and he seemed like such a genuinely nice fellow. The team was just stunned by news he had been killed. No one could believe it. I saw him talking with his uncle prior to the game that would be his last. Apparently, he was with that same relative when he was killed later that night. What a tragedy!

Seems most people don’t remember him, but I remember at the time how tragic the story was and it was big news. I still have his baseball card. If I remember right, he was in the car with someone’s wife and shot by a jealous husband.

He was 100% ballplayer and he scared me when my Yanks played the Angels.

Lyman Bostock was a fine ballplayer and finer man. I’m glad to see that I am not the only one who remembers this genuinely tragic incident.
