Irving Darius Hadley was born in Lynn, MA and died in 1963 in Lynn, MA. He went to college at Brown University. He played major league baseball from 1926 to 1941 as pitcher for the Washington Senators, Chicago White Sox, St. Louis Browns, New York Yankees, New York Giants and the Philadelphia Athletics, and appeared in the 1936, 1937 and 1939 World Series. Joseph Charles Glenn (Gabby) was born in Dickson City, PA and died in 1985 in Tunkhannock, PA. He played major league baseball from 1932 to 1940 as catcher for the New York Yankees, St. Louis Browns, and the Boston Red Sox. Myril Oliver Hoag was born in Davis, CA and died in 1971 in High Springs, FL. He played major league baseball from 1931 to 1945 as outfielder for the New York Yankees, St. Louis Browns, Chicago White Sox and the Cleveland Indians, appeared in the 1932, 1937 and 1938 World Series, and was selected once as an All-Star. Arthur Fletcher was born in 1885 in Collinsville, IL and died in 1950 in Los Angeles, CA. He played major league baseball from 1909 to 1922 as shortstop for the New York Giants and the Philadelphia Phillies, and appeared in 1911, 1912, 1913 and 1917 World Series. Fletcher went on to manage the Phillies from 1923 to 1926 and was a coach for the Yankees for 19 years from 1927-45. William Malcolm Dickey was born in 1907 in Bastrop, LA and died in 1993 in Little Rock, AR. He played major league baseball from 1928 to 1946 as catcher for the New York Yankees, appeared in 7 World Series, was selected 11 times as an All-Star, and was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1954. In 1942, while still an active player, Dickey appeared as himself in the film The Pride of the Yankees, which starred Gary Cooper as the late Yankee captain and first baseman Lou Gehrig. Late in the movie, when Gehrig was fading due to the disease that would eventually take his life, a younger Yankee grumbled, in the locker room, "the old man on first needs crutches to get around!"--and Dickey, following the script, belted the younger player, after which he said the kid "talked out of turn." In 1949, Dickey returned to the Yankees as a coach, as first base coach and as catching instructor, to aid Yogi Berra in playing the position. In his trademark fractured English, Berra said, "Bill Dickey is learning me all of his experiences." In 1972, when Berra was elected to the Hall of Fame, the Yankees retired uniform number 8 for both men. He was the brother of George Dickey. SKU: GBNHY0128
