RIP Ted Schreiber 1938-2022

It was announced at the Met game that Teddy passed away. His obit says September 8th. Ted was a city school teacher. I met him at his home in 2001. He was ready to sell and moved south. He spent a number of years in GA and then FL. Ted was the last batter at the Polo Grounds. He hit into a game ending double play (of course) against the Phillies. He told me he ‘was robbed' on the play. The second baseman that robbed him was Cookie Rojas. The shortstop who turned two was Bobby Wine. Two future Met coaches. Of course.

Not only did bat last at the PG, he made the final assist in a home team win, handling an Ernie Bowman grounder to third and firing to first baseman Tim Harkness to seal Al Jackson's complete game victory over San Fran. Ted entered for defense in the ninth and notched two assists.

If you were asked to name a utility infielder in 1963, Ted came to mind pretty quickly. RIP Later
