I woke up today and got an email from Dennis Keith Orlandini, who has begun blogging on our site. He informed that Minnie Minoso passed away, thus making any possible Hall of Fame induction for him posthumous. Minoso was a Golden Era Candidate this past year but failed to generate the necessary support.
