CaliSoxFanViaSWside Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Although Kiner never got the notoriety of someone like Stan Musial he was another fromer great who was known as a gentleman . Started his broadcast career with the White Sox ( so theoretically this could be in PHT). He then joined the Mets for their inaugural season and broadcast for over 50 years. He was dapper and kind hearted and dated such legendary actresses as Elizabeth Taylor and Janet Leigh. You would never know he was a HOF'er by his demeanor , he never flaunted it. He lived a full long life doing something he loved. Condolences to his family and friends of which there were many. This is a piece on him. http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/baseball...ticle-1.1605138 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
