    An icon of the game. Zim had heart surgery just a couple weeks after the season started. He had been ill most of spring but he made it out to the Opening Day game as they wheeled him onto the field in a golf cart which was reminiscent of Ted Williams All-Star appearance at Fenway. He was hooked to an oxygen tank, but he was determined not to miss it. The players hugged him gently as they came out of the dugout being introduced. Tom Foley has been wearing his number since his surgery to keep him there in spirit, I wouldn't be surprised if the team might do the same if they can get permission.

    I am heartbroken for his wife Soot, they were married over 60 years.
