FREDERICK L. TALBOT

I can´t believe that it has been 12 years since we lost Bubby. I have many fond memories of him. Until we meet again, rest in peace my dear friend.

I attended my very first baseball game on August 8, 1964 -- the day after my 8th birthday. My dad and I rode the South Shore train to Chicago from South Bend, IN. The White Sox were playing the Red Sox that afternoon, and we were seated in the right field stands -- two of the 7,039 in attendance that day per Baseball reference (https://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/CHA/CHA196408080.shtml) Fred Talbot was on the mound against Dave Morehead, and had an easy outing as Chicago spotted him...

It is 2023 and I just searched "Fred Talbot" on a whim and baseball fan. What well-deserved tributes meaningfull even 10 years after he died. We were classmates at McLean High before he left for Fairfax High. Great guy, great personality and all around top athlete. Had nice conversations with him, and his McLean HI many friends at a reunion at Jim Roberson's farm near Nokesville, VA. As I recall, Jim and Bill Leshear took Bubby to Cooperstown, NY before he was too ill to travel. Precious...

Miss you Fred, rest in peace my dear friend. George Keene Williamsburg, Va.

Just wanted to say again how much I miss Fred and how he was my idol growing up. I truly miss going to his house in Falls Church talking baseball with him and his phone calls talking baseball and how the game has changed since he had played, Fred was one of a kind, a great guy. Rest in peace Fred.

I was going through mementos from my childhood. I found a signed baseball that Fred Talbot had the Seattle Pilots team do upon the death of my father in 1969. My father, Joseph Cofer, taught industrial arts at Fairfax HS, and apparently made an impression on Mr. Talbot. His kindness helped ease the loss of my dad, and I never had a chance to thank him. God Rest his Kind Soul. Thank you, Joe Cofer

"Bubby" was an idol at Fairfax High School. Great memories as a kid watching him play football and baseball. Was the benchmark for all. Mike '63 FHS

Fred Talbot was a nice pitvher on weak yankee teams..his name is often invoked by Yankee fans of the era when describing thr circa late 1960's teams or in light hearted reminices of the same. He pitched 7 innings at Yankee Stadium 7/9/66 the first game I ever attended. Having gone to over 1200 major league he will always be the man who threw the 1st pitch! Peaceful eternal rest to Fred Talbot.

ABOUT A YEAR AGO I CALLED FRED AS A LONGTIME FAN OF HIS FROM THE SF BAY AREA.HE WAS SO NICE TO LISTEN TO MY STORIES HOW DAD AND I FOLLOWED HIS CAREER.HE SHARED HOW THE YANKEES WERE A GREAT TEAM TO PLAY WITH AND MADE EVRY PLAYER FEEL EQUAL.FRED YOU WERE AND ALWAYS WILL BE A TRUELY CLASS ACT.YOU WILL BE SORELY MISSED.JIM GONSALVES HAYWARD CALIFORNIA.
