Preston Gomez passes at 86



I never met Preston Gomez (on the right). When I saw this picture in the Los Angeles Daily News taken in 2008, I just thought the expression on Mr. Gomez's face was one of the most genuine moments I have ever seen. Mr. Gomez seemed to love being on a baseball field. If not for being hit by a car a year ago and the resulting injuries from which he never fully recovered, Mr. Gomez might have lived several more years. I bet he had a lot of great baseball stories in him. I hope some of them have been memorialized. I love that picture, that expression on his face, he looks so genuine. Preston Gomez La Times Tribute.
