Rosenthal, Si

Simon Rosenthal

The Boston Red Sox honored him with "Si Rosenthal Day" in 1947. His playing days with Boston had actually ended twenty years earlier. But while fighting in France during World War II, in 1944, he was paralyzed by a mine -- so the Bosox held a special day in his honor.
