Rest easy, Billy Hunter. He was an All Star for the Browns in 1953. He went on to play for the Orioles, Yankees, KC Athletics, and Cleveland. He also managed for a short time. He was the last living player that was a member of the Browns. The end of an era.

Rest easy, Ed Mickelson. Ed appeared in 18 major league games with the Browns, Cardinals, and Cubs. He drove in the final run in Browns history. His death leaves us with Billy Hunter as the last surviving St. Louis Browns player.
