Former Braves all-star dies
Frank Bolling, a two-time all-star second baseman with the Milwaukee Braves, and the last player to hit a grand slam off Sandy Koufax, has died. He was 88.
Bolling died Saturday. He was diagnosed with cancer about five years ago.
Bolling played 12 seasons in the majors, including six with the Milwaukee Braves, and hit .254 with 106 home runs. He won a Gold Glove in 1958 with the Detroit Tigers.
Bolling was traded to Milwaukee after the 1960 and became an all-star in 1961 and 1962.
In 1965, Bolling hit the sixth and final grand slam that Koufax allowed in his Hall of Fame career, connecting at County Stadium. Bolling also homered in his first big league game, tagging Baltimore’s Don Larsen on opening day at Tiger Stadium in 1954.
