Another team owner passed away last night: Red Schulman (54-6.5) of the Louisville Bourbons died of a heart attack shortly after leaving the ballpark in his personal carriage. He was rushed the hospital but was dead before the arrived. Witnesses said that he was extremely agitated at the nature of his team's defeat.
