Probably most are asking "Who?".
Former president of the Yankees, Astros and Giants, all-star third baseman with the Indians. Formed a formidable left side of the Tribe's infield along with Lou Boudreau at SS and helped win the 1948 World Series. Came very close to winning the Triple Crown but was 4 percentage points behind on batting average that year and won the MVP. Retired at 32 in the prime of his career due to back injuries.

OK. Now I know about Al Rosen. But frankly, so what? We all die.

Maybe not. Kind of depends. You can durn sure that his having played baseball well had nothing to do with it.
