Death of former Cardinal star Boyer brings memork
TANK
IN W\<? FI
APPf^
Clete Boyer loved his older
brother, Ken. He had the type of
love for Ken that transcends de
scription.
Knowing Ken didn’t have
long to live because of cancer,
Clete, who coaches third base
for the Oakland A’s, got permis
sion last week from Manager
Billy Martin to leave the club so
he could spend the last few days
with him.
“If I hadn’t known him, I
wouldn’t have recognized him,”
Clete said of Ken, 51, who died
Tuesday in St. Louis after hav
ing spent 15 years in the major
Rhodes Scholarship 1983-85
leagues, 11 of them with the
Cardinals, for whom he played
third base so brilliantly that he
was named to seven All-Star
teams and awarded five Gold
Gloves.
“You know how he played at
around 205 pounds?” Clete said.
“He was down to 120. His mind
was wandering so much, I’m not
even sure he knew who I was.”
Ken was being treated at the
Mari De Villa nursing home in
suburban St. Louis. A room was
provided for Clete and he
shared it with Ken’s oldest son,
David. Suzie Hartwig, Ken’s old
est daughter, came to see her
father every day and his two
other children, Danny and
Janie, also were frequent visi
tors.
“The nurses told me Kennie
never complained one time,”
Clete said. “The night before
last, his nurse said they tried to
take his blood count but couldn’t
get a reading. She told us when
we woke up Monday he’d prob
ably be gone.”
Ken made it through Labor
Day, however. The night was a
particularly bad one.
“I hate to wake you up and
have to tell you this, but your
brother is gone,” she said. She
told him the time of death was
6:15 a.m.
Hal Lanier, one of Boyer’s
many friends who played
against him with the San Fran
cisco Giants, visited him Monday
and stayed with him past mid
night, while Clete, almost out on
his feet, tried to get a little sleep.
Ken’s nurse, Doris Fangman,
came into Clete’s room at about
7 in the morning.
“Knowing all that Kennie
went through these past few
months, all the pain and suffer
ing he endured without ever
bitching or feeling sorry for
himself. I’m relieved now,”
Clete said Tuesday while help
ing with arrangements for a visi
tation by many of his brother’s
friends at the Schrader Funeral
Home in Ballwin, Mo., Wednes
day and Thursday.
was. He was a super athlete and
a super brother. I idolized him
so much.”
There were seven Boyer
brothers in all but Ken and
Clete, who is 45, were the closest.
Cloyd Boyer once pitched for
the Cardinals, and tour others,
Ron, Len, Lewis, and Wavne, all
played minor-league ball.
Ken was the most talented of
all five. He was the National
League’s Most Valuable Player
in 1964, the year the Cardinals
beat the Yankees in the World
Series and played against Clete

"Zorn will come in if the situa

quarter or half, as in preseason. ”
In Chicago, Coach Mike Dit-

opener against the Lions in De
troit.
“It was a tough decision," said
Ditka, the Bears’ first-year

starters. At this time, Bob is a
little more advanced with what
we’re trying to do with the
offense."
