I just received word that my good friend and fellow Seamhead, Gene Carney, passed away in his sleep yesterday while vacationing in Alaska.\u00c2\u00a0 Words cannot express the sorrow I feel.\u00c2\u00a0 Gene began posting his “Notes From the Shadows of Cooperstown” here at Seamheads.com in March 2008 and we’d developed a friendship that was steeped in respect and admiration.<\/p>\n

We exchanged ideas, discussed the Black Sox scandal, shared information, clarified things we’d written, talked about the future, and shared a good laugh or two.\u00c2\u00a0 I never had the pleasure of meeting Gene in person and hoped to see him at a future SABR convention so I could shake his hand.<\/p>\n

Rest peacefully, my friend.<\/p>\n
