BigEdWalsh Posted October 3, 2005 Share Posted October 3, 2005 http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/news;_ylt=AiF6...ov=ap&type=lgns One of my favorite past White Sox players died Sunday of a heart attack. I'm really saddened by this, Pat was one of the really good guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlaSoxxJim Posted October 3, 2005 Share Posted October 3, 2005 I was 6 years old when he played for the Sox so no personal recollection of him as a player. But 61 is too young, and it is always sad to lose a member of the extended White Sox family. PS, I love this exchange from the link you posted, Ed: "Skip, don't you want me to walk with the Lord?'' Kelly asked. To which Weaver replied, ``I'd rather you walk with the bases loaded.'' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colorado Sox Fan Posted October 3, 2005 Share Posted October 3, 2005 Sad to hear. He was a good guy and a good member of the Sox. All-star in '73. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Critic Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 I played in Mayor Daley's 1973 All-City Series team, and Pat was one of the speakers at the awards banquet. He signed my team picture and was very nice to all of us little snot-nosed brats. I'm really sad to hear of his passing. R.I.P. Pat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaliSoxFanViaSWside Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 Yea Pat Kelly. He played with Melton and Carlos May and Dick Allen and Jim Kaat probably Bucky Dent ,Terry Forster and Goose Goosage . Had some real talented players on that 73" team. Don't know if my memory is right of who was on the that team . I liked those red pinstriped uni's . RIP Pat and God bless your family.
