CYANMAGENTAYELLOWBLACK Kermit Weible Remembering you is easy, I do it everyday, But missing you is a heartache That never goes away. I hold you tightly within my heart, And there you will remain. Life has gone on without you, But it will never be the same. For those who still have their Loved ones, Treat them with tender care. You will never know the emptiness As when you turn and not there.

After the Cubs traded Waitkus to the Phillies before the 1949 season, obses- sion with him intensified. It all came to a head June 14, 1949, when the Phillies were in town to play the Cubs.
