Clarence "Frogman" Henry has died. He was born in New Orleans and lived most of his life in Algiers. His unique voice made him a novelty act, but he was a good one.

Hall of Fame manager Whitey Herzog died. He managed the Cardinals for many years. I remember how his teams emphasized speed. 

Pitcher Carl Erskine has died. He was a Dodger, but I admire him. He had a son with Down Syndrome and decided to stay in his hometown to take the best care of him. He was strongly involved with Special Olympics and charities to help old ball players. 

Pitcher Ken Holtzman has also died. I remember him playing for the Cubs and the Athletics. He was one of many Athletics who had salary conflicts with Charlie Finley.
