Pacer Smith
Hello, all. It's been a while since I posted here. I hope everyone is doing well. I saw a thread that died somewhere in January of 2003 about Pacer Smith. According to John Thorn it was a myth that Pacer Smith the murderer was an ex-ballplayer for Cincinnati (sp). He said that that was a dead end that Lee Allen created. I found that out while doing some research on Tacks Latimer. Latimer was a player who did kill a man but was later pardoned.
BTW, I've been doing research on Latimer. I find his life story to be very interesting and hope to complete an article on him in the near future. KC Boomer mentioned Tacks in a trivia question a while back. |

I think that it was accidental; an honest mistake by Allen. |
