The Hardball Times has set up a memorial fund for John Brattain's family. He left behind a wife and two teenage daughters.
Four years ago, I found from personal experience how generous the online community can be to its own in their hour of need. I am now literally begging you to be even more generous than you were to me.

ARLINGTON, Texas—In seven scoreless innings, Mike Mussina (15-7) gave up eight hits, walked one, struck out six and held Texas 1-for-6 with men in scoring position.
How impressive was his performance, considering the hitters’ haven in which it came? The Rangers were last shut out at home on Aug. 11, 2007. They had been shut out once all year and had scored fewer than three runs just four times in their previous 56 home games.
Mussina has 265 career wins, tied for 36th all-time and the most ever by a pitcher without a 20-win season.
Yankees slugger Hideki Matsui began a running program yesterday for his sore left knee, and injured RHP Joba Chamberlain will join him at the team’s spring training facility in Tampa.
Girardi expects Chamberlain to begin a throwing program once the Yankees return home after their 10-game road trip wraps up Aug. 13.
