Former Reds pitcher Bill Henry alive, despite obituary
Last Update: 9:04 am
LAKELAND (AP) -- Former major leaguer Bill Henry wants you to know he's alive and well. He didn't find out that someone was pretending to be him until the other Bill Henry died in Florida recently.
For years, the impostor was passing himself off as the former Cincinnati Reds pitcher, who appeared in the '61 series. Even the impostor's widow thought he was a major leaguer.
The real Bill Henry, who is 79 and lives in Texas, says he can't understand why someone would pretend to be him.
Friends of the fake pitcher say he even looked like Bill Henry's baseball cards. They add he was still a good man, even if he never played professional baseball.

I am actively buying MIKE SCHMIDT gem mint baseball cards. Also looking for any 19th century cabinets of Philadephia Nationals. Please PM with additional details.
