Dying young was certainly more common then than it is now. But this seems
unusual. In about 10 years, the Yankees had three people in uniform leave
the team because they were dying? Granted, one was a manager, but even he
was only 50 when he died. Both players stars; one of the players and the
manager are HOFers.

"Prohibition will work great injury to the cause of temperance. It is a
species of intemperance within itself... [It] makes a crime out of things
that are not crimes. A Prohibition law strikes a blow at the very principles
upon which our government was founded." - Abraham Lincoln, speech, 1840
