It has been a rough week. First Dave Henderson dies, now Frank Malzone. I did a post some time ago about Malzone being a somewhat forgotten star. He was one of the better players on the Red Sox teams of the 1950's. He won three Gold Glove Awards in the first three years the award was given. He was also a six-time All Star. He should have won the Rookie of the Year in 1957 as his numbers were significantly better than Tom Tresh's, and he played in more games. He likely would have had even better career numbers had he started his career at a younger age. Malzone will be missed.
