Dutch
Born OTD in 1915, Dutch Meyer. On June 23, 1937, Dutch was called on to pinch run for #Cubs catcher Gabby Hartnett in the sixth inning at Wrigley Field. On the next pitch he was eliminated at 2B on a fielders choice groundout. Dutch never played for the Cubs again. #everyCubever pic.twitter.com/ZFyY4SmfzP

Roger Badesch Retires from WGN
Thanks to Robert Feder for the mention of Roger's impending retirement...
Chicago radio news anchor and reporter Roger Badesch has announced his retirement after more than 16 years on the air at Nexstar Media news/talk WGN 720-AM. He’ll work his last evening shift October 31. “While being on the air in radio has been a lifelong dream of mine, the warm childhood memories of helping take care of our home in Evanston have, unexpectedly, overwhelmed me and are now my primary focus,” he said. “The promise made was that I would completely retire. And so I have.” Earlier this year Badesch released the audio-book version of his acclaimed 2020 memoir, The Unplanned Life: The Journey of Roger Badesch, on Audible.
