Larry Gowell former Yankee pitcher passed away he was 72.
From his friends facebook page: I am in shock this morning as I learn of the passing of a lifelong friend Larry Gowell of Auburn. It's going to take awhile to process this. From going from a chat on Facebook two days ago to this is sobering to say the least. For those of you who don't know him, he was a larger than life character, former NY Yankee who was the last pitcher to get a hit before the designated hitter rule took affect. That ball is in the Baseball Hall of Fame. The other photo shows us standing next to each other in the 8th grade choir at Pine Tree Academy in Freeport, Maine. We stayed in contact over the years and I am proud to call him a dear friend. He loved music and performed often in the LA area. He passed yesterday morning while playing golf. Way to go Larry, way to go. Well done Larry, well done
