This "early-week level" puzzle was posted soon after learning some sad news from St. Louis. After completing the puzzle (spoiler), you may be touched to read this reminiscence about the batter in the photo to your right, written by my good friend and colleague Alden Mead. Additional images of this puzzle's hero are found here, here, and here.
