Moonlight Graham dies in Chisholm‚ MN. Graham played in one ML game‚ for the 1905 Giants‚ and did not get to bat. His character in W.P. Kinsella's Shoeless Joe‚ later played by Burt Lancaster in the movie Field of Dreams made him a baseball household name.
You know where this is going...
Dr. Archibald "Moonlight" Graham: You know we just don't recognize the most significant moments of our lives while they're happening. Back then I thought, well, there'll be other days. I didn't realize that that was the only day.
...
Ray Kinsella: Fifty years ago, for five minutes you came within... y-you came this close. It would KILL some men to get so close to their dream and not touch it. God, they'd consider it a tragedy.Dr. Archibald "Moonlight" Graham: Son, if I'd only gotten to be a doctor for five minutes... now that would have been a tragedy.
