Wave ‘Em Goodbye

(Accolades for Don)

Or

Kim Bye?
Ya.
My Lord.

Wendell Kim, who literally forgot more about baseball than Butch Hobson ever knew, has died of Alzheimer’s disease at the age of 64. Kim would have been the first Korean-American to play in the major leagues, if he had made the major leagues. Known as “Windmill” Wendell or “Wave ‘em Home” Wendell as the third base coach of the San Francisco Giants, Boston Red Sox and Chicago Cubs, Kim was a fan of home plate collisions, as indicated by the number of runners he futilely sent to their demise at the dish.
