Q: Back in the 1960s and 1970s, there was a
well-known NBC newsman named Frank McGee.
I once heard him say that Frank wasn't his real
name. Would you happen to know his true first
name? --M.P.M.,Gadsden,Ala.
A: Born on Sept. 12, 1921, in Monroe,
La., Frank McGee began his career as
a television journalist in the 1950s and
continued to work until his death from bone
cancer in 1974. He is buried in Woodville,
Va.; the name on his tombstone is Frank
McGee.
Q: I came across a baseball card of Gene
Lamont. What can you tell me about him? --No
initials,e-mail
A: Drafted by the Detroit Tigers in 1965,
Gene Lamont did not break into the majors
until 1970 as a catcher. He remained with
the Tigers during his five-year playing
career. He played in only 89 games, with
159 at-bats and 37 hits. His first at-bat came
versus the Boston Red Sox -- and he hit a
home run. Unfortunately for Lamont, he
would only hit three more homers during
his career. His lifetime batting average was
.233. Following his major-league career,
he moved to the minor leagues where he
played for several years. Eventually, he
became manager of the Chicago White
Sox (1992-1995) and the Pittsburgh Pirates
(1997-2000). He is currently the third-base
coach with the Detroit Tigers.
