Baseball Think Factory has a wonderful memorial thread going for John Brattain. At this stage, there are over 500 comments from people who remember John fondly. The thread also contains links to over 15 other blog posts remembering John.
It is a testament to the power of the Internet and John's personality that many of us feel we lost a best friend, though we never met him personally.
Dave was called a "national treasure" by Rob Neyer. Seriously. Comments about this article can be sent to him through the miracle of e-mail.
