Another Municipal Stadium player I wished I'd thought of in time to tell the Royals' Hall of Fame guide was Satchel Paige. At age 59 he pitched three scoreless innings against the Boston Red Sox. I wasn't at the game but I remember the hoopla about it.
Lou Gehrig played an exhibition game at the stadium the day before he went to Mayo Clinic, where he was diagnosed with ALS. He never played again.
