One of my favorite interviews of all time occurred back in the 1980s. I can't remember which Lamar group had him as a speaker, but former Chicago White Sox manager Don Gutteridge, who is profiled in today's Pittsburg Morning Sun had a wealth of stories to tell, and I was sorry I only got to hear a few of them.
According to the article, Gutteridge is the only surviving member of the fabled St. Louis Cardinals Gashouse Gang of the 1930s. He later played in the only all-St. Louis World Series in 1944 as a member of the losing Browns (now the Baltimore Orioles). He again played on the losing side in the Series two years later as a member of the Boston Red Sox.
