Default A call-up gone too soon (a hero's story)

There was an interesting article in my morning newspaper. I thought some of you might like it.

"Memorial Day always makes me think of Harry O'Neill.
A major-league ballplayer, a World War II hero . . . O'Neill's story, I've often thought, might make a nice newspaper takeout, perhaps even a book or screenplay.
His short life was as sweet as any imaginable. And as bitter."


Here's the article link.
