He was the last surviving member of the 1950 Phillies “Whiz Kids” team.

Just like how Joe B Hall was the last surviving 1940s UK player.

RIP
As I remember it, Simmons could not play in the World Series because he was drafted.
RIP, Curt. I only remember you at the end of your career when you were trying to come back.
I recall him as a St.Louis Cardinal.
I always thought of him as a Cardinal....
I didn't know until now that he was a Phillies 1950 Wizz Kid....
In 1967(?) he went to the Angels
At the time I thought it was cool because he was on the 1964 Cardinals World Series winning team.....Anything to help that miserable Angels team! I don't remember seeing him pitch for the Angels...
Hank Aaron and Stan Musial both said that he was the toughest pitcher they ever faced....... That says quite a lot.....
R.I.P.
For Goldenage....what ballpark was this photo taken in?.....
