Ralph Houk is among the most searched personalities on the internet at the moment. Sadly the legendary baseball player passed away on Wednesday. He was ninety years old at the time of his death. He was present at home when the angels took his spirit and he expired. He was one of the best people who ever joined the Major Baseball League. His services to the world of baseball can never be forgotten. He was a great right hander. He played in the Yankees for a long time as a catcher. During his career as a player he left the game for some time in order to help his country in the World War 2. He fought the battles bravely and was awarded by a number of honors by the army. He could not play much with the Yankees as he spent a lot of time in the war.
Just after his retirement Ralph Houk decided not to leave the world of baseball and so he came back as a coach. He was great at coaching and his qualities led him to a promotion and he was made the manager of the Yankees. The hall of famer Tommy Lasorda stated that he has never seen a better manager than Ralph Houk, he handled his men in a great manner. He was pretty short tempered and his men feared him a lot.
Later on he changed teams and in the last days of his career he became a special assistant to the general manager of the Minnesota Twins.
