Your comments on Bert convy take me way back ...Ron,<br />Your comments on Bert convy take me way back to when I played professional ball with Bert in 1952 at Miami, Oklahoma, we were platooned in the outfield,Bert started off and couldn't seem to get his bat connected to the ball with any consistency,Johnny Davenport our manager put me in after a few games and I started off great and had a banner season, they sent him to Salina Kansas,all in all I feel that if he would have started hitting good he would have been in our outfield all season or would have been in Salina's outfield his fielding was fine, Bert was a very positive with a great personality an energetic and enthusiastic person, he came to the ball park with eye black on and done every thing he could to keep us all up beat and into our game, he was a very pleasant person to be around, I would say to his family that I feel that they lost a good husband father and friend I am very elated that he went on and had his great career in the entertainment fieldand I certainly do hope that his family are all doing fine as I suspect they are.<br />Don Ervin, 1952 Miami, Oklahoma Eagles, Philadelphia, Phillies farm club.<br />kom_ervin@yahoo.comDonErvinnoreply@blogger.com
