Confusion with war hero

[edit]

Jim Healy used to tell the story that Eckert was elected in part due to confusion. He had a name similar to a WWII hero, and a few teams owners were surprised to learn the man they voted for was not that man. — Randall Bart (talk) 07:59, 10 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

WWII service

[edit]

* He served Europe as commander of the 452nd Bomb Group — ERcheck (talk) 21:04, 11 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
