Lou Boudreau

My Grandmother was Julia Violet Boudreau (1913), tracing her ancestors led me here.

Still missed everyday. Many say he was one of the best ballplayers that ever played. He was a better father.

I feel as if my childhood has finally come to an end.

My life in Cleveland from . . .say. . .1943 through 1948 was entwined with the presence of Lou Boudreau in ways that he never knew.

The present president of the Cleveland Indians has written that when he was a kid, he wanted to grow up and BE Lou Boudreau, the shortstop of the Cleveland Indians. Well, he wasn't the only one! I was not gifted athletically, but I was smart and I was interested and I thought that if I...

Our condolences to the family. We were avid fans for over fifty years. A great man. He will be missed.

I myself didn't know Lou as a player but as the voice of the Cubs along with Vince Lloyd on WGN radio.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

I'll miss him. He was first class.

We'll miss you Lou.
