Ping Bodie, 74, Colorful
Baseball Character, Dies
SAN FRANCISCO — Ping
Bodie, 74, one of major league
baseball’s colorful characters four
decades ago died Sunday.
Bodie was an American League
outfielder for nine seasons, with
the Chicago White Sox 1911-14,
the Philadelphia Athletics in 1917,
and the New York Yankees 1918
21. He was a roommate of Babe
Ruth’s while playing for the Yan
kees.
Bodie, a slugger of the dead
ball era was christened Francis
Pezzalo. He derived his baseball
name from the “ping” of his bat
when it met the ball and a ghost
mining town he once lived in,
Bodie, Calif.
Bodie inspired Bugs Baer’s line
about an unsuccessful attempt to
steal a base — “Ping had larceny
in his heart, but his feet were
honest” — and furnished material
for Ring Lardner’s famous base
ball fiction series “You Know
Me, Al.”
He stayed in baseball until 1928,
when he batted .348 in the Pa
cific Coast League.
For the next 32 years, Bodie
worked as an electrician in south
ern California movie studios.

SAN FRANCISCO <* — Some
holiday travelers canceled jet re
servations to the East Coast Sat
urday because of a Civil Aero
nautics Board ruling which raised
fares.
The CAB ruling, handed down
Wednesday, suspended cut-rate
excursion fares which had saved
travelers as much as $92 each.
Hundreds of passengers were
unaware of the increase until
they arrived at the International
Airport for scheduled departures.
“Some of them cried and some
of them got mad and asked for
their money back,” a reservations
clerk said.
