[Wally Moon](http://www.latimes.com/local/obituaries/la-me-wally-moon-20180210-htmlstory.html), the Dodgers outfielder who became known for his “Moon shots” during the first few years of the team’s tenure in Los Angeles, has died at the age of 87. Because the L.A. Coliseum’s left-field bleachers were only 251 feet from home plate, a 42-foot-high screen was installed to cut down on cheap home runs. Moon, however, developed an uppercut swing that allowed him to power the ball into the stands with some regularity. ---

He was in the Army Air Corps during WWII. There was an accident and he risked his life to pull people out of the burning plane. He was awarded the Soldier’s Medal. It’s not as well known as the Medal of Honor but it’s a big deal. It’s for Valor and it’s the highest award given not involving combat. ---
