Hoyt Wilhelm and Nestor Chylak
What common experience connects this HoF pitcher and the HoF Umpire?
|
Sounds too easy for Chylak to have been the plate umpire in Wilhelm's no hitter.
|
Too easy to be true, indeed.
|
It happened around Xmas time.
|
In 1944.
|
Both won the Purple Heart?
|
Yes, indeed, but there is just a little more to it. They were wounded in the Battle of the Bulge.
