Ron Fairly

Oh Mr Ron Fairly! My teenage years were spent with such a crush on you! I’m 78 now but in the early 60s when my family would go to Dodger Stadium it was with two things in tow: a transistor radio so we could listen to Vin Scully and binoculars so I could drool over #6 in the outfield which I did with great joy. Even now as I write this there’s a Dodgers/Reds game just about to start. On Fathers Day in 1959, when Cincinnati was known as the Redlegs, we saw you all get royally trounced 17-3,...

I was talking with a friend the other day about my fond memory of Ron Fairly and his family living in Panorama City, CA. His son and I were friends. My Mom and Ron's wife Mary were good friends. I was only 6 years old but what a wonderful memory I still have today. I just read about Ron Fairly passed away. I am very sorry to hear about his passing. RIP #6

Ron was a cousin of my father's, and someone he had a high opinion of. I am sorry to learn of his passing.

I was with Ron in the Army at Fort Ord, one of the nicest guys I ever met, I still have the program he brought back for me when he got special leave to sign topps baseball cards RIP my friend .
