PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Curt Simmons, the last surviving member of the 1950 Philadelphia Phillies Whiz Kids team, has died. He was 93.
His death on Tuesday at his Ambler, Pennsylvania home was confirmed by the Phillies, who did not specify a cause.
One of the greatest pitchers in franchise history, the lefty posted a record of 115-110 with 109 complete games, 18 shutouts and a 3.66 ERA in 325 games (263 starts) in 13 seasons with the team.
Simmons tied for the major league lead with six shutouts in 1952 and had a career-best 21 complete games in 1954. He ranks fifth in team history in wins and innings (1,939 2/3), sixth in games started, tied for sixth in shutouts and ninth in strikeouts (1,052). He was selected to three All-Star teams with the Phillies in 1952-53 and 1957. He started the 1952 and 1957 All-Star Games.
A member of the pennant-winning “Whiz Kids” team, Simmons missed part of the 1950 season, including the World Series, serving in the National Guard during the Korean War. He also missed the entire 1951 season while fulfilling his military commitment.

No one struck anything. Perhaps it was user error.

Evidentially that is what happened, 89. As I seem to recall, the phone rang as I was attempting to post.

Too bad you didn’t recall that before blaming the moderators.

I didn't blame the moderators. Just thought it was a possibility.
If my post offended or inconvenienced anyone, please accept my sincere apologies.

"Perhaps the mods won't strike this one." This reads a lot like blaming the mods to me. Why even start your post with that line unless.... well, I can't rationalize why.
