I don't recall seeing mention on the board and a search of it didn't turn up anything but Ted Lepcio passed away on December 11. He spent 1951 in Class B and AAA in the Red Sox system and after one game in AAA in '52 was called up to Boston where he played SS/3B/2B through 3 games in 1959 when he was traded to Detroit along with Dave Sisler (son of George) for pitcher Billy Hoeft. He played for the Phillies, White Sox, and Twins before ending his career in 1961. He was mostly a part-time player with blah batting stats.
I recall him because I sent him a postcard asking for an autograph, being very careful as a youngster (about 10) to address him by his first name, Thaddeus, but never considering that I should have sent a letter with a self-addressed stamped envelop included. I also did the same with Constantin Niarhos. I figured that these were two players who didn't get asked often for their autographs.
